"Here at Beyond Breakfast, we've been following the work of the Recipe for Success Foundation since 2010, when SNF blogger/consultant Christina saw R4S founder Gracie Cavnar speak at TEDxHouston. "Every powerful idea starts with a flicker of inspiration," Cavnar told the TEDxHouston crowd that day, and she went on to outline how her foundation translates research into action to reduce childhood obesity. "We put kids in touch with their food from seed to plate--and it's working ... We invade the schools; we garden, we cook, we build a culture of health, campus-wide." Recipe for Success gardens and cooking classes are supplemented by lessons in other classes--from science to math to language arts--that help reinforce the healthy messaging. "The gardens touch everything," says Cavnar with a smile."
