【题目】The East Room of the White House was bursting with color on July 14, as 56 young cooks arrived for the Kids’ Stale Dinner. The chefs, aged from 8 to 12, were winners of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, a program that encourages kids to create healthy, affordable, original, and tasty lunch recipes.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama hosted the event, now in its fifth year and part of her Let’s Move! More than 1,200 kids throughout America entered the challenge, were encouraged to be creative and use ingredients (原料) grown in their home states, or communities. Recipes had to represent each of the food groups by including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy. The 56 winners were treated to a meal featuring some of their own creations.
“This event isn’t just about eating well today, but about setting kids like all of you up for a lifetime of healthy choices.” the former first lady told the young cooks. “As small you are, you can change lives. I see the work of kids, the magic you all do. People change because of kids.”
Amelie Chen’s winning recipe was Breadfruit, Taro, and Garlic Chicken Trio. The 9-year-old from American Samoa said she was “very excited” to be attending the event. “Winning this trip to the White House makes me think of my favorite quote from Walt Disney: ‘If you can dream it, you can do it,’” she said.
Famous cooks Rachaels Ray and Tanya Steel, editorial director of Clean Plates Omnimedia, a media company focusing on health and wellness food culture, were also in attendance. Michelle recognized them as driving forces in making the Kids’ State Dinner a reality several years ago. Ray and Steel posed for pictures with the young cooks.
Following the meal, the crowd was treated to performances by the cast of Walt Disney World Resort’s The Jungle Book. The 56 winners ended their visit with a tour of the White House Kitchen Garden.
