Yesterday, The First Lady announced a new component of her Let’s Move initiative, called “Chefs Move to Schools.” I was privileged to be one of 400 chefs listening on the South lawn of the White house. Michelle Obama’s speech

Chefs Move to Schools will adopt chefs to public schools to teach kids about delicious foods that many of them have never seen or tasted.

The day kicked off with a breakfast at the JW Marriott. Speakers included Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, White House Assistant Chef Sam Kass, Share Our Strength Founder and Executive Director, Billy Shore. Inspiring talks on how planting, harvesting, cooking and eating delicious food and their impact on kids were given. I am so proud that Unquowa’s Farm to Fork program has been doing this for five years now. We are a successful model to schools that will be slowly changing to a healthier/delicious eating style.

When we arrived at the event we were led through the security in a sea of “whites”. A tour of the White House garden was wonderful. I was surprised at the number of people who knew of The Unquowa School; I won’t be in the future. The First Lady’s reach to the 1,000 chefs who have signed up for Chefs Move to Schools will inspire many more before school starts in September. Be ready, America; here come the chefs, here come the chefs, here come the chefs.
