Stirring Up Change In a Community Near You

Teen Battle Chef, is a program of FamilyCook Productions in over 75 schools and community sites across the U.S. Over half are sponsored in high schools by HealthCorps. This blog began in summer 2010 when FamilyCook invited NYC Teen Battle Chefs to participate in internships working with chefs in restaurants, teaching younger children cooking, growing food in food deserts, and cooking in farmers markets across 5 boroughs. In fall 2010, our program continues and thanks to Robin Quivers, her run in the NYC Marathon in November, will provide critical funding so our Teen Battle Chef programs in CT and in HealthCorps schools in NJ can experience these transformational internships as well.

Food Rules

Hi Readers!
Last week as a group we discussed some key food rules, rules to generally follow when making food choices, selected from Michael Pollan's quick read, "Food Rules, An Eater's Maual." After discussing some of the food rules presented in the book, some of us came up with our own.


"Don't regret eating and then eat a little, because in two hours you'll be regretting eating twice as much." Jessica G


"You are what you eat."


"Be thankful every time you eat food, always says grace." - Henfry

"Don’t try to restrict yourself for what can can or cant eat, if its in moderation." - Eddy


"Always eat breakfast." - Molly


"Food is a universal language, food is a language that everyone speaks." - Fatimah


"Trying things will never hurt you." - Jessica P


"Have self control. Don’t over endulge." - Ayerine


"Eat foods you can make using your own home appliances."- Kristie


"Eat foods that you can make your self, or come very close to making yourself." - Kristie


"When eating, just eat, don’t focus on everything surrounding the food." - Kristie
