Chef Jessica Williams offered a "Nutrition Round-up" at
CD-REC
on November 9, 2009 for parents to teach the basics of nutrition. Topics
covered included food portion size, "think your drink",
nutrition label reading, food safety, and some examples of the number of
calories burned during different activities. Participants were then
challenged to answer questions at twelve different stations around the
room, all pertaining to food. Click
here to see photos of a Kids' Cooking Class that Jessica also led
that evening. Click here
to see a grocery store tour that the group took as part of another class.
