A nationwide recipe contest for kids ages 8-12 that promotes cooking and healthy eating. Winning recipes were selected based on their healthfulness, taste, originality, affordability, and following USDA’s MyPlate recommendations.
These young chefs and a parent or guardian joined the First Lady for the Kids’ “State Dinner,” featuring a selection of the winning recipes, followed by a visit to the White House Kitchen Garden.
Let’s Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by the First Lady Michelle Obama, dedicated to solving the problem of obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams .
