Cooking and Public Health: How to Help Families Discover Good Food on The Atlantic

Conversation with Maryland Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene Dr. Joshua Sharfstein and cookbook author Sally Sampson on a new state initiative to improve healthy eating among Maryland families.

We've made it a priority to use foods that are accessible and affordable and recipes that are simple and kid friendly. We use recipes from all different cultures and we don't beat anyone up with our message of healthy eating: We strive to make it fun and hope that the rest follows from there. So my guess is that many people -- not just you -- can get their children to eat healthy foods by getting them involved in the process rather than lecturing to them about what they should and shouldn't be eating.
