Teaching children about nutrition is crucial in order for them to become adults who are conscious about what they consume. This has become increasingly important, as American youth are inundated with cheap and unhealthy food choices in supermarkets or fast food restaurants. Education influences smart decision-making and can reduce obesity rates, prevent associated health conditions, and allow children to have enjoyable lives.
Virginia-based company Edible Education has taught 900,000 children since its founding in 2011. The organization's small team is grateful that their kid-friendly cooking classes, summer camps, and Kitchen a la Cart programs have enabled so many children to learn culinary skills and how to eat healthy.
