"5 Simple Steps To Success" For Chefs
Chefs can have a tremendous impact on the health and well-being of children by collaborating with a school and working with teachers, parents, school nutrition professionals and administrators to help educate kids about food and nutrition. They teach new techniques and recipes for healthier meals that meet the schools’ dietary guidelines and budgets. And, they engage young people about nutrition and making balanced and healthy choices. By creating healthy dishes that are also delicious, chefs have a unique ability to make good nutrition fun and appealing.
Adopt a local school to help plan menus and get children engaged with healthy, nutritious foods. Teach a cooking demo at a school or community center to demonstrate that healthy cooking can be fun and easy. Organize a trip a farmers market for students to taste fresh, healthy foods. Share healthy recipes and cooking tips with the Let's Move community. Join a school health advisory council at a school to emphasize how better eating habits can result in better classroom performance.
