Share one EAT experience that has made a lasting effect on you.I think one EAT experience that I've learned is that the choice of healthy eating are based on decisions that we make for yourself. For example my first instinct is no longer to grab a bag of chips when I'm hungry but rather to cut up a piece of fruit and it's equally as appetizing. I have also noticed that I can naturally interact with a small group of kids because the kids actually answer the questions you ask them when they are in a smaller group. Our ProgramDuring session #5 of EAT at Cottage Crew there were a total of 11 participants and 8 of them were willing to fully participate. Although 3 of the 11 participants chose to do other things they all tried the final dish in the end. At the beginning of the session we decided that we would like to change it up a little and start with preparing the food then move into the activity and game. We divided the group into 3 stations which were all cutting different fruits. At my station I had 2 boys and we were cutting and peeling the softer stuff like bananas, oranges and de-vineing the grapes. It a went well because all 3 of the groups actually finished at about the same time and we were able to move straight into mixing everything. We decided to mix all the ingredients together first then serve it so that every person would get every fruit. After we finished eating we directed the kids in into a circle and went around the circle to talk about if their family had any food traditions. SURPRISINGLY many of them gave pretty unique dishes ranging from many Filipino dishes to sweet and sour chicken. After we were done with that we just played 'move your butt' (food edition) until the session ended. In the game we were surprised to see that some of the kids used examples from the recipe we had just made.
