It's really important to teach people how to get food, how to grow it, how to pick it, how to prepare it and what's safe to eat.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
All schools should teach children basic cooking skills. Every school should be able to buy sustainable, good quality food wherever possible from local sources. Every school should include food-growing in the curriculum. For some, that will mean twinning with willing farms. For others, it will mean literally building their own small farms.
We want to teach families how to cook Tuscan wherever you are. How to reuse your leftovers. How to trick the kids into eating whatever you want by putting it into a frittata.
According to the 'food waste pyramid,' ensuring that food is eaten by people is the top priority. Failing that, the next best thing is to feed it to farm animals.
My goal is to go from the industrial food system toward a real food system where you understand what you are eating.
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
I learned to cook because I want to know about the food and the ingredients going into my family's bodies.
Just ask the local people for the best food. Don't rely on a guidebook.
I think it's important that people know what they are eating and especially to know what their children are eating.
Food tells you everything about the way people live and who they are.
