School Food Awareness Program

As one of its cornerstones, The Initiative will create programs for schools to educate children and teachers about healthy eating and the dangers of bad and fad diets. These programs will focus on smart nutrition and better food choices with lectures, cooking classes and edible gardens in schools so kids can see the process from seed to table. The goal is to change kids’ lives by changing the way they eat. When children eat a more balanced diet, they focus better and increase their understanding and ability to apply what they learn, thereby creating a better life.
