It looks like our prime suspect, promoter of children and pizza on Instagram, has used his hobbies for charitable purposes.

  • Alice Waters is perhaps the most important chef on the west coast and one of the most important in the United States. She runs a restaurant called Chez Panisse. Notice the parallel lettering to Comet Ping Pong.
  • Located in the heart of the Democratic Party base, the Berkeley-organization is directly involved with helping children grow vegetables in schools.
  • Of all the people on the "projects board", Alefantis is the only one who doesn't live in California.
  • Other board members include Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Alice Walker, Eleanor Coppola, Jamie Oliver, Bette Middler
  • Podesta is also known to Alice Waters
  • Walis Ahluwalia, connected to Rachel Chandler investigation, is also involved in the organization
  • Edible Schoolyard NYC GALA includes Chelsea Clinton, David Rockefeller, Martha Stewart and many others.
  • They have hosted events together and Politics & Prose and Buck's

If this doesn't connect Alefantis to the Rockefellers, Hollywood actors, bankers, globalists, artists, journalists, politicians and celebrity chefs, I don't know what does.

UPDATE: Flagship Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley contains Wood-Fired Oven where they make pizzas for the kids. Where else have we seen that before?

This article is the subject of a legal complaint made by Francesca Vietor.

Alice Waters, the California chef who helped turn Americans on to seasonal, local and cage-free food, is under attack from some of her own followers who say she has championed fertiliser made of sewage.

Activists from the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) are picketing Waters's fabled Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley today in protest at her failure to condem a fertiliser derived from sewage that, they say, contains industrial chemicals and heavy metals as well as human waste.

The campaign has put Waters in an uncomfortable spot. She is regularly ranked among America's best chefs, and has worked strenuously to extend good eating from expensive restaurants into daily life. She lobbied hard to get the Obamas to turn over part of the White House garden to growing vegetables, and has encouraged school children to adopt healthy eating habits with her Edible Schoolyard programme in Berkeley.

But those good intentions clashed with activists trying to get greater oversight of a largely unregulated industry producing fertiliser from sewage waste.

The city of San Francisco, which prides itself on promoting greener living, had been giving away the fertiliser to home gardeners and local schools in the name of promoting healthy eating habits, but has now suspended the programme. The fertiliser was made of sewage waste collected from San Francisco and eight other cities. Local authorities labelled the bags as "organic biosolids compost", although federal government regulations say sewage sludge cannot be used for raising produce that is then labelled as organic.

The San Francisco giveaway was overseen by Francesca Vietor, an executive of the city's power company who also sits on the chef's foundation. A spokesman for Waters said she does not use sludge as compost on any of her gardens.

In a statement today, the Chez Panisse Foundation hit back at protesters, and said: "The Foundation looks forward to ensuring public review of the science on this matter and working with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commissison and other relevant stakeholders to insure that safe practices are followed."

Activists argue that Waters's stance amounts to greenwashing. Tests from around the country have shown that city sewage sludge routinely contains a slew of industrial and chemical toxins. The Environmental Protection Agency, however, requires only minimal testing on a routine basis of the sludge.

"It contains a myriad of toxins. Everything that goes down the drain that is pulled out of the water ends up in this mountain of sludge," said John Stauber, an adviser to the Organic Consumers Association. "They call it recycling but it's really greenwashing. Bagging it up and calling it organic compost and marketing it to school gardens is a tremendous fraud."

So reading that quote above, Alice Waters was not promoting this practice.

Looking into this the Environmental Working Group came to Francesca Vietor's defense

“Because Vietor is both an SFPUC member and head of Alice Waters’ foundation, some activists have hurled the wild accusation that both women somehow support the use of toxic sewage sludge to grow food,” Cook said. “It stretches credulity into the realm of defamation to connect those dots.”

“Francesca Vietor is one of the Bay Area’s and the country’s most accomplished environmental leaders,” Cook said. “To suggest that her service as a commissioner on the SFPUC over the last 18 months is tantamount to an endorsement of the commission’s distribution of composted sludge is both unwarranted and irresponsible. To the contrary, it is our understanding that immediately after Vietor became aware of the practice, she raised questions about it with the appropriate SFPUC staff. Shortly thereafter, distribution of the sludge compost was halted.
