“We are going to need everyone’s time and talent to solve the childhood obesity epidemic and our Nation’s chefs have tremendous power as leaders on this issue because of their deep knowledge of food and nutrition and their standing in the community.” -- First Lady Michelle Obama
Cat Cora, and chefs from across
the country are answering Mrs. Obama's call to get involved with their local
schools as part of the Chefs Move to Schools initiative, run through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The First
Lady is calling on chefs to get involved by adopting a school and working with
teachers, parents, school nutritionists and administrators to help educate
children and show that nutrition can be fun.
Through this innovative program, local chefs
are matched with schools in their area to incorporate new techniques and
healthy recipes into school meals and show kids that eating right is delicious
and fun.
