Focus on Families

The Focus on Families cannot fail to appeal to parents. The appeal will take the form of exposures to both healthy, delicious, recipes and their children as reliable young chefs-in-the-making. Thus, the program must proceed as follows:

Implement cooking clubs @ school sites culminating in a student-catered home-to-school meeting. Conclude that home-to-school meeting with an invitation to participate in weekend cooking classes for the whole family. These family cooking sessions will teach basic food safety knowledge, basic cooking skills, and quick, safe, healthy dishes for kids (for all those guardians wary of kids in the kitchen).

Once this process has been implemented the entire family will be engaged through their own creative desires to work with food. Engagement and creativity are the keys to successful health outcomes and pulling the whole family into the loop will ensure a more contagious, well-rounded, and powerful environment. If these young people can have the backing of their parents, then real changes will begin to take hold.
