Unfortunately, this topic is rarely covered in standard curriculum. I volunteered with a program in the NY area called Cookshop last year. We visited a kindergarten class weekly to explore and cook with a fruit or vegetable. It was amazing to see that the kids would truly try anything after they'd been a part of making it! I'm now working on a class to teach kids about taste & flavor. I think developing a vocabulary and awareness about eating food is another key area of food education that isn't typically offered.

I hope she will use her influence to change the country's cafeteria food. We need her support ! I was thought of Rachel Ray as the Jamie Oliver of the USA.
