There is a lot of misinformation about healthy eating out there. Every day, there’s a new study telling us which fats are acceptable — and which ones are forbidden. One day eggs are off the menu —and the next, they’re part of a healthy diet. How can we know what’s really good for us?
New °ÄÃŲÊÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼½á¹û Initiative Sorts Facts from Hyperbole
“Consumers have been blitzed by information on what’s good and not good to eat,” notes Peter Lehmuller, EdD, dean of the College of Culinary Arts.
In response, °ÄÃŲÊÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼½á¹û has launched “,” a new public awareness effort to encourage healthy eating — as well as to emphasize its influence on the world’s food decisions, industry choices, and overall health and well-being.
Join the Healthy Eats Movement
Now you too can be part of the movement. Our inaugural Eat Healthy series of recreational cooking classes is designed for the general public. Learn what to eat, when to eat it, how to prepare it and gain a basic understanding of why it’s good for you.
Each class is taught by faculty chefs from °ÄÃŲÊÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼½á¹û’s Providence Campus — Jonathan Poyourow, RD, LD, Todd Seyfarth, RD, CSSD, and Rollie Wesen — featuring lectures, demonstrations and tastings of delicious foods that can be a part of your healthy lifestyle.
Classes will be held on Saturdays from 9:30-11am at °ÄÃŲÊÀúÊ·¿ª½±¼Ç¼½á¹û’s Harborside Campus in the Harborside Academic Center (HAC) Amphitheater.
Space is limited. If you sign up for all 3 sessions, you will receive a “Changing the Way” t-shirt upon completion of the entire series.
A seat in the Eat Healthy Series also makes a perfect gift for a friend or family member. Gift certificates are available.
