H3’s very own, Chef Educator Marvis Hinson, will be traveling to the White House this Friday, June 4th, in support of First Lady Michele Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative to combat childhood obesity. Chef Hinson plus more than 50 other chefs from the American Culinary Federation (ACF) will join in these efforts to promote the Chefs Move to Schools program, which will be run through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
As part of her effort to turn policies into practical solutions for America’s families, Mrs. Obama is calling on chefs to get involved by adopting a school and working with teachers, parents and school nutrition professionals and administrators to help educate kids about food and nutrition. By creating healthy dishes that taste good, chefs have a unique ability to deliver these messages in a fun and appealing way to the larger audience, particularly children. Read more about the initiative here.
Chef Marvis Hinson was selected to represent the state of Georgia this Friday in the kick-off event. The President of the ACF said, “The chefs who will participate [in this program] were selected for their previous volunteerism with ACF and our Chef & Child Foundation. We are pleased that so many of our chefs will be at the White House for the kickoff, gathered with like-minded chefs who are passionate about promoting proper nutrition and fighting the obesity epidemic in America.”
We are excited for Chef Marvis to represent H3 through this healthy initiative, as it aligns so closely with our program. She is given the opportunity to teach others on a larger scale how to live a healthy lifestyle, creating meals that are not only healthy but delicious.
The next time you visit H3, make sure you fit a demo by Chef Marvis into your schedule – as her meals are not one to miss! Her soft-spoken, Southern charm radiates through her meals while you flashback to the comfort of your mother’s kitchen.
