In the Kids Health classes, the curriculum highlights the positive aspects of the four, plant-based food groups: whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Children ages 9-12 can be exposed to the great taste and health benefits of eating a plant-based diet through kid-friendly recipes approved by PCRM’s staff of dietitians. The curriculum aims to empower children with the knowledge and skills they need to establish healthy habits to carry them well into adulthood. Each class offers a cooking demonstration, food samples of health-promoting dishes, along with a workbook with activities, worksheets focused on nutrition and several recipes.
