Comments From Our Kids

"I really liked playing all of the games, because they were cool and a good way to stay nutritious."

"That we got to play games and make food, and we got to learn what was good and bad for you."

"The games and making meals, meeting kids."

"Everyone was so nice and helpful"

"Recipes are fun to make."

Comments From Parents

"I liked the way you really involved the kids; making the learning fun and interactive with the games."

"With the education they received, they were able to make informed decisions; it empowered them without making the parent always the enforcer."

"That each class was based on a particular topic; it made it easier for the children to retain info."

"The hardest part about the whole study is trying to impress on the child why it is so important to follow the program."

"I liked the way things were explained to the kids. They, I think, grasped the concepts. It was not forced upon them. It seemed more like a choice. This made my daughter more willing to make changes."

"The cooking class was fun and educational as well. We now spend time reading food labels and our child can make his own choices now."
