Throwback Thursday! We debuted our Food UnEarthed Curriculum for Grades 3 - 5 in 2012 in NYC. The woman on the left with the ponytail is Tashya Knight, our teacher who has been with us for 12 years! This student’s family changed how they ate post-lessons!

We taste-tested a Plant-Powered Friday recipe at one of the NYC Vegetarian schools. This student enjoys Rustic White Beans with pasta and breadsticks. Family-size recipes are on NYC’s website so you can make them home!

November is World Vegan Month. Vegan is not a dirty word. Eating whole plant foods is good for our health (not all vegan food is healthy), it’s good for the planet—animal agriculture is a major driver of climate change, & it’s good for animals that will not be killed and eaten.

We are happy to report that we introduced Kindergarten students to over 24 vegan snack options last school year. Here is a look at their food wall by the end of our program! It is so satisfying to know how much we have expanded the culinary horizons of many of the students!

During our Cool School Food lesson, students in Queens experienced a new vegan menu item, Chickpea Shawarma. They learned about the culture this food is inspired by and tasted it before enjoying it at lunch. Thumbs up and smiles all around.
