  1. Why Bake? Literacy, Math, Science, Health, History www.homebaking.org Sharon Davis, FCS Education

  2. From a Critical Science Perspective Focus: “practical, recurring problems or concerns of the family” (Brown & Paolucci, 1979) “Recurring concerns are value-based problems that occur from generation to generation and are resolved through reflective judgment and action. (Montgomery, 1999) Building Strong Families and Communities: A Critical Science Rationale for FCS. Bette Montgomery and Sharon Davis, JOURNAL OF FAMILY & CONSUMER SCIENCES January 2004. Vol 96, Issue 1, p52-56.

  3. Multiple FCS Outcomes • Academic foundations • Career, Community and Family Connections Standards 1.2; 1.3 • Consumer and Family Resources Standards 2.1;2.2; 2.3; 2.4; 2.5 • Consumer Services, 3.1; 3.5 • Family Standard 6.2 • Family & Community Services • Food Production and Services-- 8.1; 8.2; 8.7 • Food Sciences, Dietetics and Nutrition-9.1, 9.3, 9.5-6 • Hospitality, Tourism, Recreation • Human Development Standards 12.2; 12.3 • Interpersonal Relationships-- 13.3; 13.5; 13.6 • Nutrition and Wellness Standards 14.1 –14.5 • Parenting 15.2; 15.3

  4. FCS is School Wellness Partner • Need: Tripling of adolescent obesity Equal effort to tobacco/alcohol/drug ed? 2% or less meet Dietary Guidance • Faculty: “We can’t move ALL the needles!” (My school faculty, 2006) • Need: integrated food and nutrition lessons, K-12; teacher in-services • Community Service Partners needed

  5. Model School Wellness Policies include: Nutrition Education and Promotion. _______________ School District aims to teach, encourage, and support healthy eating by students. Schools should provide nutrition education and engage in nutrition promotion that: • is offered at each grade level as part of a sequential, comprehensive, standards-based program designed to provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to promote and protect their health; • is part of not only health education classes, but also classroom instruction in subjects such as math, science, language arts, social sciences, andelective subjects; • includes enjoyable, developmentally-appropriate, culturally-relevant, participatory activities, such as contests, promotions, taste testing, farm visits, and school gardens; • promotes fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, low-fat and fat-free dairy products, healthy food preparation methods, and health-enhancing nutrition practices; • emphasizes caloric balance between food intake and energy expenditure (physical activity/exercise); • links with school meal programs, other school foods, and nutrition-related community services; • teaches media literacy with an emphasis on food marketing; and • includes training for teachers and other staff.

  6. Childhood Obesity and Overweight “It starts from home. Every child should learn to cook…it sends the right kind of ramifications through the family. By the time these guys get to 14-16 years they know how to look after themselves and eat well…” The Press Association Limited. Home News. June 22, 2005 How many parents can teach their children to cook? 25-30%? Less? FCS=Essential Culinary Experience

  7. Top Chef Urges Children toSharpen Cookery Skills “Messages need to be made earlier in life. (Preventing obesity) starts from home. It’s great to see 10-year olds cooking. It sends the right kind of ramifications through the family, making sure they understand what they are eating and knowing how to do it at the same time.” “Every child should learn how to cook and we need to keep banging on about the basics and not get carried away with the frills.” The Press Association Ltd. June 22.2005 www.eatwell.gov.uk Top Chef Gordon Ramsay, British Food Standards Agency (FSA)

  8. Predict half the population could be obese in 25 years—1 million children in a decade. January 22, 2008: Reuters.com “Cookery” classes will now be compulsory in secondary schools 800 cookery teachers to be trained over next three years All schools to offer by 2011 11-14 year olds receive one hour per week in schools. Schools Secretary Ed Balls: “We want children to be able to cook simple, healthy recipes.” Prue Leith, new head of program to improve school meals in England: “If we had done this 30 years ago, we might not have the crisis we have today.” Campaign leader: Chef James Olivier “It’s of the utmost importance that all kids learn to cook good food from scratch and shop well.” Great British Food Debate

  9. In the U.S., Chefs and FCS lead • "Cooking With the CHEFS (Clemson University Healthy Eating and Food Specialists)" program provides its participants with quick and easy recipes that appeal to the entire family, even younger children. • This unique, hands-on program allows participants to work in the kitchen…If you want to learn how to prepare quick and healthy meals that will please the whole family, then "Cooking With the CHEFS" is the program for you! • Research being published, lab manual, 2008 • www.clemson.edu/cookingwithachef

  10. Cooking with the C.H.E.F.S Research-based, primary goal: Promote healthy eating behaviors by teaching • Basic nutrition • Food safety • Food selection • Menu planning • Food-prep skills Contact: Dr. Marge Condrasky Phone: (864) 656-6554 Email: mcondra@clemson.edu

  11. Early Evidence:Why Teach Youth to Cook and Bake? “Research consistently shows that integrating nutrition and food education into the larger curriculum and providing children with hands-on cooking experiences changes what they are willing to eat.” The Cookshop Program. Toni Liquori. Journal of Nutrition Education. Sept/Oct. 1998.

  12. More studies needed, but… “Studies have shown that cooking skills lead to increased cooking frequency, improved knowledge, preferences, and self-efficacy toward and interest in cooking, and decreased food costs.” Cooking Classes Outperform Cooking Demonstrations for College Sophomores. Levy, Joshua, MS; Auld, Garry, PhD. RD. J Nutri Educ Behav. 2004:36:197-203.

  13. Involve adolescents in food prep “Dietetics professionals should encourage parents to involve their adolescents in food-related tasks to help them develop the proficiencies they need as young adults to maintain a healthful diet.” Larson,N, Story, M, Eisenberg, M, Neumark-Sztainer, D., 2006, Food preparation and purchasing roles among adolescents. Journal of the American Dietetics Association. 106(2), 211-219.

  14. Early Interventions “Interventions occurring later in life require greater expenditures of effort, and require involvement of greater proportions of the system than is the case in earlier portions of the life span.” Richard M. Lerner, Ph.D—Director Institute for Children, Youth & Families, Michigan State U. American Journal of Family & Consumer Sciences, Winter, 1995

  15. Why do people bake at home? • Evokes strong emotional feelings and satisfaction (not as evident for cooking) • A way to show love for family, friends • Learning to bake from parent/grandparent creates emotional ties; desire to pass on • Important outlet for creative impulses, a talent • Pride is a powerful motivator • Strongest reason is emotional and relationship-related Home Baking Association Annual Meeting Land O’ Lakes 2003 Baking Trends Report

I love baking and churning out delicious stuff from the kitchen. Am not a very experimental eater, but seem to have a knack for experimental cooking!

  20. Do-It-Yourself v. Prepared for You • At-home prepared foods help us achieve guidelines for calcium, dietary fiber, iron and reductions in saturated fat. (USDA-ERS Bulletin 750, March, 1999. Lin, Guthrie, Frazao) www.econ.ag.gov) • “57% and 53% of people baking at home do so to use better quality ingredients or to make “healthier” baked goods, respectively (Bertolli 1996 Survey; 1997 BH&G Consumer panel) • Did we mention the cost$$$$?
