Our school is an inner-city school located in historic 4th ward, a predominately African-American community with an increasing Hispanic population. Both demographics have been hit hardest by the onslaught of childhood obesity. 48 of our students screened positive for Acanthosis Nigricans, associated with obesity and insulin-resistant diabetes aka Type II diabetes, and we only screened half the school (1st, 3rd, 5th & 7th grades). If any of these kids develop Type II diabetes before the age of 15, life expectancy decreases by 27 years! We implemented the culinary arts/garden program with the primary purpose to empower students through edible education, to make intelligent and healthy choices. Our program is a persuasive invitation to changing how we think, connect and feel about food and how it sustains us. Our students are inquisitive and hungry for non-traditional experiential learning opportunities that they can in-turn take home and impart to their families.
