ABSTRACT

The prevention of obesity is vital to the health of American children. In the urban African-American community, the health of school-aged children is in particular jeopardy due to the high prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and poor dietary choices such as the purchase of sugary drinks, salty snacks, low consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, and reliance on fast food meals. African-American girls are at a higher risk for obesity and early puberty before age 10, placing them at a greater risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Our current "Cooking with Kids" program in a local grocery store has allowed us to promote healthy eating behavior in a unique way; teaching 6 through 11-year-olds how to prepare easy healthy breakfasts, lunches, and snack food recipes at a local grocery store while their mothers shopped.
