The lack of access to proper nutrition is not only fueling obesity, it is leading to food insecurity and hunger among our children.

As a parent, I know how difficult it can be to encourage your kids to eat well.

I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age.

The right use of food can end hunger.

I think it's important that people know what they are eating and especially to know what their children are eating.

Cooking with your kids and engaging them in hands-on activities are two ways to begin to educate children about the healthy eating, and kick start the important task to help change how the younger generation looks at food and nutrition.

When I learned how millions of children go to bed hungry, my only response was, 'What can I do to help?'

One in four kids in the U.S. faces hunger.

Hunger in America is an American problem. The hunger of one should be the concern of all. Especially the hunger of children - our children.

I cannot stress a greater importance than to teach the young generation about the risks of unhealthy eating. A great way to pique their interest in nutrition is to involve them more in the cooking process. They not only will learn to cook for themselves, but also develop a lifetime of healthy habits.
