For all of you 8-12 year olds out there—Or parents of 8-12 year olds… Here is a great challenge! As part of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign to end child obesity, this challenge asks kids between the ages of 8 and 12 to come up with creative, healthy lunchtime options that follow the USDA’s MyPlate nutritional guidelines. It would be fantastic to have a solid showing of all-vegan healthy lunchtime offerings. Vegan kids out there–Get to work! Let your imaginations run wild and show Michelle Obama, the White House and the country how delicious, healthy and compassionate vegan food can be!
Michelle Obama and Epicurious.com will choose 56 adult-child teams (one from each state and US territory) to come to the White House for a ‘State Dinner’ in August at which some of the winning dishes will be served.
Parents are encouraged to help their children come up with fantastic lunchtime options that are healthy, affordable and delicious. Entries should represent each of the food groups, either in one dish or as parts of a lunch meal, including fruit, veggies, whole grains, protein and low-fat dairy foods (i.e. non-dairy). The deadline is June 17. Winners will be notified by July 16th. To enter, click here.
Anyone out there have an 8-12 year old who might be interested in this?
