Walking the Lawn at the White House

In June I had the honor of being one of the 700 chefs who were addressed by Mrs. Obama for the Chefs Move To School iniative. It was a great treat to walk on the south lawn of the White House and the vegetable garden. Im excited to help my school incorporate healthy food education in ways never really done before. For example instead of teaching children in math class fractions on a pieces of paper, have them adjust recipes and measure out dried beans using measuring cups. Get the children involved in understanding where food comes from in history class instead of just the “Columbus sailed the ocean blue….”, how the plentiful supply of food or lack their of shaped countries accross the world.
