Students Cooking Up Change

The article, Cooking Up Change-Students Transforming the Future of Food in our Schools, by Kelsey Donohue, talks about a program called Cooking Up Change, which challenges students to come up with affordable and healthy meals to be used in their cafeteria.  This is such a great way to get students to have a better understanding of how to prepare healthy food and teach them ways to live healthier life.  This also is great to help schools incorporate new healthier alternatives to what they have been serving. Unfortunately our schools are a large part of the problem when it comes to childhood obesity.  We are not helping our students live healthy lives when we only offer them unhealthy options in schools.  Our schools need to make a change and work to help students make better choices and offer better options.
