Students sample and prepare healthy snacks

We’ve been busy, busy, busy over here at FoodFight! As our schools are in the end of the second part of their semester, they are focusing on reconstructing their views of food after learning about media literacy, food politics and much more. Our nutritionists and chefs have been spending time in the classroom with students to work on cooking skills as well as making nutritional and healthy decisions everyday when it comes to meals and snacking.

The students from Harlem Children’s Zone have been working with Food Fight nutritionist Courtney to learn about nutrients that feed our bodies and how we can make sure to be eating well so we feel well every day. Thumbs up for healthy snacking!

Based in New York City, Food Fight’s mission is to revolutionize the way teenagers think about food and its role in their lives. Using schools as a platform, FoodFight arms students with tools, knowledge and resources necessary to take responsibility for their eating and buying habits and ownership over their health and life chances.

Foodfight achieves its mission by providing cutting edge teacher training programs, curriculum and support to our teachers from a team of doctors, nutritionists and chefs.

We want to share with a larger community what we are doing with NYC high schools and their teachers in the classroom and beyond.
