Alton Brown, Food Network Celeb, asks What's For Lunch
You may know him as Food Network's top culinary scientist or the commentator on the hit show Iron Chef, but Alton Brown is first and foremost a dad. That means he's concerned about his daughter's health - and given his day job, particularly what she's eating.
Brown recently spoke at a panel hosted by the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, an organization in Georgia working hard to get healthier food to more kids.
In this clip, he gives a TV star-worthy talk on visiting his daughter's school, where he spoke with kids about what they like to eat, what they should eat, and what's for lunch.
To hear what he has to say about his field trip, click the image below and choose the "Penny introduces Alton Brown" segment.
(EWG shout-out to John Bare, Blank Family Foundation VP, for bringing this cool talk to the attention of our prez, Ken Cook.)
He's captivating! What great points as well.. I especially love how he talks about striving to create a relationship between kids and healthy produce. Thanks for posting this!
Dear All,
Good Day!
Through this network, I would like to appeal for the following. We all know about the havoc already been done by us towards environment. Here is a chance to do our bid today, on the Environment Day. May I request you not to drive your car 5th June unless you have medical reason for the same? If your workplace is far off, you may try to use a public transport system rather than your own car; if it is nearer, go for cycling or walking. By doing so we may register our contribution towards a low carbon economy and a cleaner environment.
Kindly forward the request to all your acquaintances since contribution of
everyone counts.
I am sure you will feel good for doing something rather than only discussing on
carbon emission.
With best regards,
Yours truly,
Pradip Dey (A Feeler for Mother Earth)
