How Can We Get Kids Excited About Food?

Chef Alice Waters of Chez Panisse in Berkley, California founded the Edible Schoolyard.  The Edible Schoolyard teaches course subjects by letting students muck around in the garden.  The garden teaches students about sustainability, gardening, and food preparation.  It is also a way of getting kids excited about food and making healthy food choices.  Alice partnered with her local middle school to create the garden.  The garden has grown to over an acre in size and produces hundred of pounds of fruits and vegetables every year.  Food prepared from the garden is given to local charity.
