"bio": "I was the Senior Digital Producer for KQED Food up until July, 2018. Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

Case in point: The recently reopened \u003ca href=\"http://www.exploratorium.edu/\">Exploratorium\u003c/a> in new digs at Pier 15 in San Francisco, which offers creative fare tied to the mission of the museum, known for its interactive exhibits and playful approach, designed to encourage curiosity and experimentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think seawater cocktails.

A full-bar serves cocktails promising a taste of the sea and in-vogue drinking vinegars known as shrubs.

Photo: Gayle Laird\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What got you excited about creating food for the Exploratorium?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What resonated with me about this project was a sense of place. The Exploratorium moved from this dark, cavernous space to a venue 800 feet over the water. Place is both a subject to explore and engage with at the Exploratorium. For me that means something in terms of food but also as a human being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The environment and human experience, that's everything to me. The importance of farming and where our food comes from is a very familiar mantra in the Bay Area. When you spend as much time as I do as a professional inside the food industry here you can get to a point where you're in your own zip code. It can become precious and you can lose sight of the fact that our work is not done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than any other reason to be involved here, the museum offers a new and incredibly creative, intelligent and organic opportunity to do work on environmental consciousness, sustainability, and awareness around food and the planet. The Exploratorium is a great way to shake things up and have people engage with an exhibit in a hands-on way. That's where the learning begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is that where the honeycomb comes in?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. The honeybee is in peril so by serving the honeycomb I'm hoping to help people stop and think and connect the bee with the almonds and the apricots -- that's why those things are always going to accompany the honeycomb. We want it to be a real exhibit and educational model that people will become intrigued by and realize how endangered bees are, which means your almonds are endangered, and all your stone fruit is endangered, and a whole way of eating is at risk. Bees are struggling with so many things right now; they're overworked and experience bee jet lag. Bees want to winter in Florida, but instead almond growers in California pay exorbitant prices to have them flown or trucked here and put to work to meet demand. California is the biggest producer of almonds in the world, something like 70 percent, and people just take that for granted. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61997\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/seaglass1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/seaglass1000.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese chef Sachio Kojima, who developed fervent fans for his sushi over the years, heads up Seaglass's seafood and fermentation section.

He's making seaweed and kelp salads, with kelp gathered from Marin, Mendocino, and Monterey counties, we'll have algae on the menu too.

It's all West Coast, Monterey Bay Watch-sanctioned seafood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We missed the herring run this season but we'll be serving herring next Spring. And we'll serve anchovies in season too; these are really the last of the commercial fisheries within the bay. People have to understand that their choices are becoming so limited with regards to fish. There are very few wild fish that are sustainable. So we'll be serving what people think of as bait and also serving whole fish. That starts a conversation in the U.S. because most people here are not used to seeing a whole fish or bait on a plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61995\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/sea.grape_.keller.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/sea.grape_.keller.jpg\" alt=\"Sea grapes add a salty kick to cocktails at the Exploratorium.

And then we wanted to run the dishwasher on seawater but it became clear that that was a whole project on its own. But the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/science/article/Exploratorium-sets-Net-Zero-energy-goal-4422432.php\">Exploratorium is using seawater to heat the building\u003c/a>, which is quite extraordinary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're using seawater in a cocktail. It turns out that the health department doesn't recognize seawater as a consumable, so we're not allowed to serve seawater per se. But there are kelps available that contain seawater, and there's a Monterey County kelp called sea grape, that we add to our signature martini, which tastes great with a little bit of seawater.

Case in point: The recently reopened \u003ca href=\"http://www.exploratorium.edu/\">Exploratorium\u003c/a> in new digs at Pier 15 in San Francisco, which offers creative fare tied to the mission of the museum, known for its interactive exhibits and playful approach, designed to encourage curiosity and experimentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think seawater cocktails.

There's even a local riff on \u003ca href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/oct/27/how-to-cook-perfect-welsh-rarebit\">Welsh Rarebit\u003c/a> (that's gussied up grilled cheese to the uninitiated.) A full-bar serves cocktails promising a taste of the sea and in-vogue drinking vinegars known as shrubs. Near the museum's Embarcadero entrance, the Seismic Joint offers take-away chow such as a chickpea-battered fish fingers, various spins on clam chowder, salads, and sandwiches.

The Exploratorium moved from this dark, cavernous space to a venue 800 feet over the water. Place is both a subject to explore and engage with at the Exploratorium. For me that means something in terms of food but also as a human being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The environment and human experience, that's everything to me. The importance of farming and where our food comes from is a very familiar mantra in the Bay Area. When you spend as much time as I do as a professional inside the food industry here you can get to a point where you're in your own zip code. It can become precious and you can lose sight of the fact that our work is not done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than any other reason to be involved here, the museum offers a new and incredibly creative, intelligent and organic opportunity to do work on environmental consciousness, sustainability, and awareness around food and the planet. The Exploratorium is a great way to shake things up and have people engage with an exhibit in a hands-on way. That's where the learning begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is that where the honeycomb comes in?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. The honeybee is in peril so by serving the honeycomb I'm hoping to help people stop and think and connect the bee with the almonds and the apricots -- that's why those things are always going to accompany the honeycomb. We want it to be a real exhibit and educational model that people will become intrigued by and realize how endangered bees are, which means your almonds are endangered, and all your stone fruit is endangered, and a whole way of eating is at risk. Bees are struggling with so many things right now; they're overworked and experience bee jet lag. Bees want to winter in Florida, but instead almond growers in California pay exorbitant prices to have them flown or trucked here and put to work to meet demand. California is the biggest producer of almonds in the world, something like 70 percent, and people just take that for granted. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61997\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/seaglass1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/seaglass1000.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese chef Sachio Kojima, who developed fervent fans for his sushi over the years, heads up Seaglass's seafood and fermentation section.

He's making seaweed and kelp salads, with kelp gathered from Marin, Mendocino, and Monterey counties, we'll have algae on the menu too.

And we'll serve anchovies in season too; these are really the last of the commercial fisheries within the bay. People have to understand that their choices are becoming so limited with regards to fish. There are very few wild fish that are sustainable. So we'll be serving what people think of as bait and also serving whole fish. That starts a conversation in the U.S. because most people here are not used to seeing a whole fish or bait on a plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61995\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/sea.grape_.keller.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/sea.grape_.keller.jpg\" alt=\"Sea grapes add a salty kick to cocktails at the Exploratorium.

It turns out that the health department doesn't recognize seawater as a consumable, so we're not allowed to serve seawater per se. But there are kelps available that contain seawater, and there's a Monterey County kelp called sea grape, that we add to our signature martini, which tastes great with a little bit of seawater.

But over by the pachysandra patch, there was a single lovely pink tulip, and I kept my eye on it for two weeks before Mother's Day. When that Sunday morning arrived, I rushed out, snipped it and ran inside to where she lay sleeping to present it to her. \"Did you pick that outside?\" she inquired, her expression shifting from sleepy surprise to something more complicated. I nodded proudly. \"Oh ... thank you, sweetie.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, some 40 years later, I can read that image of my mother's face like a book — chagrin for the flower-picking (she would rather have enjoyed it in the spot where she'd planted it), affection for her impetuous daughter and perhaps a bit of resignation. For it is traditionally the lot of mothers to receive, on their special day, clumsy, heartfelt versions of the domestic miracles they themselves pull off so adeptly the rest of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much has changed for mothers in the decades since. So many of us work that a day free of housekeeping chores really seems more like a right than a privilege. And being taken out for brunch is maybe a mixed blessing when what you really want is to sleep in. So I'd like to make a subversive sort of argument — for us moms to take charge, at least in part, of our own Mother's Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than passively waiting around for somebody to think of and give you a treat, why not make one of your favorites for yourself? Something you can snack on all week when no one's around. Or, better yet, something you don't have to share. Flowers are nice, perfume is nice, but what really makes me feel special is having a stash of slow-roasted butter pecans that \u003cem>nobody else knows about\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of us like it savory; some of us like sweet. Maybe we pack snacks every day for our kids, or we get dinner on the table every night, or we bring a Tupperware to microwave in the office. The point is that we rarely take the time to make a treat for ourselves. Little salty snacks like nuts and popcorn are satisfying, and really not all that bad for you. Custardy individual-sized sweets are irresistible, as are brittle sweets that go crunch. You could make \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/07/17/156918881/just-add-water-the-miracle-of-seaweed\">spicy seaweed\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/03/21/18183909/say-it-with-chocolate-bread\">chocolate bread\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7229979\">candied orange peel\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/02/02/5169592/new-years-promises-wrapped-in-gold\">dumplings\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/03/30/134953739/the-other-half-of-the-egg\">macaroons\u003c/a>. Really, there are no rules to what makes a good secret stash food for Mother's Day, as long as you like it and you have the time and energy to make it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where can you hide your treats? Well, the obvious place is at work, if you work outside the home. If you're at home, seek out the places nobody else seems to know about — like the file cabinet that allows you to produce a months-old receipt from Target when you have to return a nonfunctioning toaster. Or the place where your daughter keeps her chorus folder, or where the button batteries are kept. Store them high (unless your spouse is 6 foot 3) or store them low. The idea is to keep them \u003cem>away from eye level\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does this seem small-spirited? Somehow calculating?

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the butter melts. Raise the heat to medium and cook until the mixture is bubbling rapidly, 3 minutes.

Add the curry and stir in until well blended and fragrant. Add the jam and 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, stirring until a loose slurry is formed.

Stir in the chopped chives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the toast is ready, take it out and butter the untoasted sides (if both sides are toasted, don't worry — butter them anyway). Place one slice butter side up on your cutting board and pile on as much egg salad as you like, compressing it a bit to help it stay in. Add on the cilantro and arugula or cress. Top with the remaining slice of bread, butter side facing in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silence your cellphone.

But over by the pachysandra patch, there was a single lovely pink tulip, and I kept my eye on it for two weeks before Mother's Day. When that Sunday morning arrived, I rushed out, snipped it and ran inside to where she lay sleeping to present it to her. \"Did you pick that outside?\" she inquired, her expression shifting from sleepy surprise to something more complicated. I nodded proudly. \"Oh ... thank you, sweetie.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, some 40 years later, I can read that image of my mother's face like a book — chagrin for the flower-picking (she would rather have enjoyed it in the spot where she'd planted it), affection for her impetuous daughter and perhaps a bit of resignation. For it is traditionally the lot of mothers to receive, on their special day, clumsy, heartfelt versions of the domestic miracles they themselves pull off so adeptly the rest of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much has changed for mothers in the decades since. So many of us work that a day free of housekeeping chores really seems more like a right than a privilege. And being taken out for brunch is maybe a mixed blessing when what you really want is to sleep in. So I'd like to make a subversive sort of argument — for us moms to take charge, at least in part, of our own Mother's Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Something you can snack on all week when no one's around. Or, better yet, something you don't have to share.

Maybe we pack snacks every day for our kids, or we get dinner on the table every night, or we bring a Tupperware to microwave in the office. The point is that we rarely take the time to make a treat for ourselves. Little salty snacks like nuts and popcorn are satisfying, and really not all that bad for you. Custardy individual-sized sweets are irresistible, as are brittle sweets that go crunch. You could make \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/07/17/156918881/just-add-water-the-miracle-of-seaweed\">spicy seaweed\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/03/21/18183909/say-it-with-chocolate-bread\">chocolate bread\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7229979\">candied orange peel\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/02/02/5169592/new-years-promises-wrapped-in-gold\">dumplings\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/03/30/134953739/the-other-half-of-the-egg\">macaroons\u003c/a>.

Well, the obvious place is at work, if you work outside the home. If you're at home, seek out the places nobody else seems to know about — like the file cabinet that allows you to produce a months-old receipt from Target when you have to return a nonfunctioning toaster. Or the place where your daughter keeps her chorus folder, or where the button batteries are kept. Store them high (unless your spouse is 6 foot 3) or store them low.

Unless replacement income is found, such cuts would essentially gut the district program, considered a model around the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"BUSD schools are deeply committed to saving their garden and cooking programs and are working closely with their principals, PTAs, the school district, and the extended community to raise funds for the coming year and beyond,\" says Marian Mabel, a parent at Malcolm X Elementary and member of a group called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleySchoolGardeningandCookingAlliance\">Berkeley Schools Gardening and Cooking Alliance\u003c/a>, which was launched last year when Malcolm X, along with two other schools, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2012/03/23/school-gardening-and-cooking-program-may-face-cuts/\">looked set to lose their federal funds\u003c/a>. (The alliance successfully lobbied the school board for a year of bridge funding, which, ultimately, wasn’t needed when a \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2012/06/14/school-edible-programs-get-reprieve-from-the-feds/\">one-year extension of federal monies was granted\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, district officials, individual schools, and a core of parent volunteers are scrambling to try and save the program, which began as a community effort 15 years ago. And prominent local restaurateurs and chefs have stepped up to show their support too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cooking and gardening movement in Berkeley's schools, documented in a series of short videos under the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lunchlovecommunity.org/index.html\">Lunch Love Community\u003c/a> umbrella (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/02/12/berkeleys-school-lunch-program-makes-its-big-screen-debut/\">featured in a 2011 BAB post\u003c/a>), has received federal funds for 12 years. But recent changes in federal funding priorities and state administering of these monies, along with changing demographics in BUSD schools, has lead to a pending shift in the allocation of resources. Despite last year's one-year reprieve from the feds, no such extension of support is expected for the next school year, given changes to U.S. government guidelines with the passage of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/legislation/cnr_2010.htm\">Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61407\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/lunchlove500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/lunchlove500.jpg\" alt=\"If they grow it and cook it they will eat it Part Two: Students at Le Conte Elementary School in Berkeley.

Photo: Sophie Constantinou\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school district saw the cuts coming. So last November, the superintendent convened an advisory committee on garden and cooking to identify and secure both short-term bridge funding and long-term sustainable funding, through major donor and corporate giving campaigns, public-private partnerships, and other fundraising efforts, all of which are either in the works or being explored. At a school board meeting on Wednesday, committee members will make a case for a commitment of $300,000 a year for two years to help maintain the program, according to Melanie Parker, interim supervisor for the BUSD's Gardening and Cooking Nutrition Program. (Last year \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2012/04/12/berkeley-district-votes-to-fund-at-risk-edible-programs/\">the district pledged up to $350,000\u003c/a> for the three schools facing cuts to their programs for this school year.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee has outlined four tiers of funding options for the immediate future. These range from a fully-funded program costing $2 million a year, to a worst case scenario situation of part-time staff offering limited instruction and charged with keeping the gardens alive at about $250,000 a year. The largest cost of the program, not surprisingly, is salaries and benefits for cooking and gardening teachers and assistants. While most of these employees work part-time, they are paid the full-time equivalent of between $25,000 and $50,000. Many of these instructors, adored by students, parents, and school officials alike, have been working in the schools since the start of this program and the thought of losing their educational experience and institutional wisdom is viewed as a potentially devastating blow to the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BUSD committee is recommending funding at a reduced level, what they're calling a \"tier two scenario\" or a 50 percent cut in program costs for a total of $1.04 million a year, which translates into fewer students receiving instruction and reduced staffing hours. \"The committee felt it was important to be realistic about how much money we could raise -- and raising $4 million over the next two years to maintain our current programs felt incredibly challenging,\" says Parker, who noted a recent $100,000 infusion of state funds that has been committed to the cause courtesy of the City of Berkeley's Public Health Department. Still, she acknowledges, there is a long way to go to secure full funding for next fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourteen of Berkeley's 19 schools have gotten federal funding in the past, money designed to benefit schools with significant low-income populations. The programs slated to lose their funding come October include Berkeley High School, Berkeley Technology Academy, Longfellow and Willard middle schools. Seven elementary schools face cuts, including Emerson, John Muir, LeConte, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Thousand Oaks and Washington. Hopkins, Franklin and King preschools will also be impacted by the loss of income. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The community is gearing up to raise funds and awareness on many levels. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.change.org/petitions/berkeley-unified-school-district-board-of-education-save-berkeley-school-garden-and-cooking-programs-3\">Change.org petition\u003c/a> is gathering signatures in support of the campaign.

It's also trying to keep costs in check, by hiring young, service corps members for $25,000 a year to run these programs, set to be in 21 K-5 schools this fall. \"What is happening in Berkeley is instructive, it shows how easily these kinds of programs can be cut or lopped off, that's why we're focusing on making them an integral part of every student's day,\" says Arden Bucklin-Sporer, Education Outside's executive director. \"We never use the term 'gardening' or 'cooking,' which suggest that they're extra programs not integral to curriculum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the East Bay, another relatively new model for providing edible education is coming to Oakland schools this fall, via a national program known as \u003ca href=\"https://foodcorps.org/\">FoodCorps\u003c/a>, which places a service member in a school for a year to help tend or build a school garden, improve school cafeteria food, and talk up healthy eating with students. It costs FoodCorps about $32,500 to put a service member in a school, including a $15,000 stipend, a $5,550 Americorps award, and health benefits. FoodCorps has partnered with the Edible Schoolyard Project for a summer academy geared towards FoodCorps fellows, service members with one year of experience, who are training to become peer-mentors at sites around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, in Berkeley the focus remains on saving a lauded program many years in the making. \"What's in jeopardy is losing the groundwork from developing a nationally-recognized program,\" says Willard Middle School parent Cindy Tsai Schultz, who is on \u003ca href=\"http://saveourgarden.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html\">the school's gardening and cooking committee\u003c/a>. \"In 1995 at Willard, Matt Tsang, our gardening coordinator, started with two small planter boxes. Today we have a model program with a flourishing garden, six chickens, and gardening and cooking classes that integrate nutrition education with math and science,\" she adds. \"Our garden produces enough food for cooking classes for over 500 children. The garden also provides a safe and peaceful place and offers students a sense of security. We can't lose the last 15 years of hard work and kids' strong connection with the program. We can't let all that nurturing turn to weeds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Donations to the BUSD Garden and Cooking Program can be made through the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bpef-online.org/donate/online-donation/\">Berkeley Public Education Foundation\u003c/a>, when making a donation through BPEF, specify that the contribution is earmarked for the BUSD Garden and Cooking Program.

Unless replacement income is found, such cuts would essentially gut the district program, considered a model around the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"BUSD schools are deeply committed to saving their garden and cooking programs and are working closely with their principals, PTAs, the school district, and the extended community to raise funds for the coming year and beyond,\" says Marian Mabel, a parent at Malcolm X Elementary and member of a group called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleySchoolGardeningandCookingAlliance\">Berkeley Schools Gardening and Cooking Alliance\u003c/a>, which was launched last year when Malcolm X, along with two other schools, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2012/03/23/school-gardening-and-cooking-program-may-face-cuts/\">looked set to lose their federal funds\u003c/a>. (The alliance successfully lobbied the school board for a year of bridge funding, which, ultimately, wasn’t needed when a \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2012/06/14/school-edible-programs-get-reprieve-from-the-feds/\">one-year extension of federal monies was granted\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, district officials, individual schools, and a core of parent volunteers are scrambling to try and save the program, which began as a community effort 15 years ago. And prominent local restaurateurs and chefs have stepped up to show their support too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cooking and gardening movement in Berkeley's schools, documented in a series of short videos under the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lunchlovecommunity.org/index.html\">Lunch Love Community\u003c/a> umbrella (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/02/12/berkeleys-school-lunch-program-makes-its-big-screen-debut/\">featured in a 2011 BAB post\u003c/a>), has received federal funds for 12 years. But recent changes in federal funding priorities and state administering of these monies, along with changing demographics in BUSD schools, has lead to a pending shift in the allocation of resources. Despite last year's one-year reprieve from the feds, no such extension of support is expected for the next school year, given changes to U.S. government guidelines with the passage of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/legislation/cnr_2010.htm\">Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61407\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/lunchlove500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/lunchlove500.jpg\" alt=\"If they grow it and cook it they will eat it Part Two: Students at Le Conte Elementary School in Berkeley.

Photo: Sophie Constantinou\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school district saw the cuts coming. So last November, the superintendent convened an advisory committee on garden and cooking to identify and secure both short-term bridge funding and long-term sustainable funding, through major donor and corporate giving campaigns, public-private partnerships, and other fundraising efforts, all of which are either in the works or being explored. At a school board meeting on Wednesday, committee members will make a case for a commitment of $300,000 a year for two years to help maintain the program, according to Melanie Parker, interim supervisor for the BUSD's Gardening and Cooking Nutrition Program. (Last year \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2012/04/12/berkeley-district-votes-to-fund-at-risk-edible-programs/\">the district pledged up to $350,000\u003c/a> for the three schools facing cuts to their programs for this school year.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

These range from a fully-funded program costing $2 million a year, to a worst case scenario situation of part-time staff offering limited instruction and charged with keeping the gardens alive at about $250,000 a year. The largest cost of the program, not surprisingly, is salaries and benefits for cooking and gardening teachers and assistants. While most of these employees work part-time, they are paid the full-time equivalent of between $25,000 and $50,000. Many of these instructors, adored by students, parents, and school officials alike, have been working in the schools since the start of this program and the thought of losing their educational experience and institutional wisdom is viewed as a potentially devastating blow to the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The BUSD committee is recommending funding at a reduced level, what they're calling a \"tier two scenario\" or a 50 percent cut in program costs for a total of $1.04 million a year, which translates into fewer students receiving instruction and reduced staffing hours. \"The committee felt it was important to be realistic about how much money we could raise -- and raising $4 million over the next two years to maintain our current programs felt incredibly challenging,\" says Parker, who noted a recent $100,000 infusion of state funds that has been committed to the cause courtesy of the City of Berkeley's Public Health Department. Still, she acknowledges, there is a long way to go to secure full funding for next fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourteen of Berkeley's 19 schools have gotten federal funding in the past, money designed to benefit schools with significant low-income populations. The programs slated to lose their funding come October include Berkeley High School, Berkeley Technology Academy, Longfellow and Willard middle schools. Seven elementary schools face cuts, including Emerson, John Muir, LeConte, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Thousand Oaks and Washington. Hopkins, Franklin and King preschools will also be impacted by the loss of income. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The community is gearing up to raise funds and awareness on many levels.

It's also trying to keep costs in check, by hiring young, service corps members for $25,000 a year to run these programs, set to be in 21 K-5 schools this fall. \"What is happening in Berkeley is instructive, it shows how easily these kinds of programs can be cut or lopped off, that's why we're focusing on making them an integral part of every student's day,\" says Arden Bucklin-Sporer, Education Outside's executive director. \"We never use the term 'gardening' or 'cooking,' which suggest that they're extra programs not integral to curriculum.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the East Bay, another relatively new model for providing edible education is coming to Oakland schools this fall, via a national program known as \u003ca href=\"https://foodcorps.org/\">FoodCorps\u003c/a>, which places a service member in a school for a year to help tend or build a school garden, improve school cafeteria food, and talk up healthy eating with students. It costs FoodCorps about $32,500 to put a service member in a school, including a $15,000 stipend, a $5,550 Americorps award, and health benefits. FoodCorps has partnered with the Edible Schoolyard Project for a summer academy geared towards FoodCorps fellows, service members with one year of experience, who are training to become peer-mentors at sites around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, in Berkeley the focus remains on saving a lauded program many years in the making. \"What's in jeopardy is losing the groundwork from developing a nationally-recognized program,\" says Willard Middle School parent Cindy Tsai Schultz, who is on \u003ca href=\"http://saveourgarden.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html\">the school's gardening and cooking committee\u003c/a>. \"In 1995 at Willard, Matt Tsang, our gardening coordinator, started with two small planter boxes. Today we have a model program with a flourishing garden, six chickens, and gardening and cooking classes that integrate nutrition education with math and science,\" she adds. \"Our garden produces enough food for cooking classes for over 500 children. The garden also provides a safe and peaceful place and offers students a sense of security. We can't lose the last 15 years of hard work and kids' strong connection with the program. We can't let all that nurturing turn to weeds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-longevity-kitchen/\">The Longevity Kitchen\u003c/a>, Katz and her co-author Mat Edelson combine decades of practical cooking experience with up-to-date science on nutrition and disease prevention. The book is a feast for the senses, full of beautiful photos and recipes that burst with flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Get recipes for \u003cem>Golden Roasted Cauliflower\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Bella’s Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Salad\u003c/em> below)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included in the book is a list of the \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/culinary-rx/\">Super 16 Power Foods\u003c/a>, foods that “nibble for nibble offer the highest levels of antioxidants.” I liked the list, but it was missing some of my favorite medicinal foods. Where was the broccoli with its anti-cancer and hormone balancing effects; or turmeric, the potent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">anti-inflammatory\u003c/a>, anti-cancer Asian spice? So, I was pleased to find that the second chapter of the book contained a culinary pharmacy -- a list of over 80 foods that are used as ingredients throughout the book along with their various health benefits. Here I found turmeric, medicinal mushrooms, broccoli and many more. There are also notes included with many of the recipes that talk about the health benefits of specific ingredients. These notes go into greater detail and explain the benefits of important foods that aren’t included in the Super 16 or the Culinary Pharmacy like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">flax seeds\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\" alt=\"The Longevity Kitchen by Rebecca Katz and Mat Edelson\" width=\"250\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-58215\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\u003cstrong>Here are the three major reasons why I found \"The Longevity Kitchen\" to be a valuable resource.\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The first is quality.\u003c/strong> The ingredients in the recipes are truly health promoting. Katz emphasizes fresh, organic, unrefined foods in each recipe.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The second reason is that the book is almost entirely gluten-free.\u003c/strong> There are a few recipes that contain gluten but most include easy substitutions for people with sensitivities. In fact, many of the recipes are also free of eggs, dairy, soy and sugar making \"The Longevity Kitchen\" a valuable resource for people with allergies and special diets.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The third and most important reason is that the food actually tastes good.\u003c/strong> I have tested recipes from every section of the book, from \u003cem>Latin Kale\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Mango Lassi\u003c/em> and they have all been delicious. I have served these dishes to friends and even to my four-year-old twins. People love them. I got so many compliments on the \u003cem>Parsley Mint Drizzle\u003c/em> that it felt like cheating; its only six ingredients in the blender after all.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As a naturopathic doctor I focus on optimal nutrition for each patient, and this often involves diet change. It is relatively easy for me to tell people what they should and shouldn’t eat. It is much harder to tell them how to prepare those foods. This book does an excellent job of bridging the gap and making healthy food accessible and flavorful. One caveat is that most of these recipes require some basic cooking skills to prepare. People who don’t already know how to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/skills-specific.php?skill=howto-videos\">chop, dice, mince or zest\u003c/a> may need to brush up before attempting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month I had the opportunity to interview \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RebeccaKatzYum\">Rebecca Katz\u003c/a> about her new book and her philosophy on food. Excerpts from our interview are transcribed below. The content has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your previous two books, \"One Bite at a Time\" and \"The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\" were specifically targeted to cancer patients and their families and this book is targeted to the general public. I’m wondering why you made that shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> If I had one more person come up to me and say, “these books are great, but when are you going to write a book for the rest of us.” ...A lot of people are afraid of the word “cancer.” So even though the recipes in both of those books are yummy for everybody, number one -- people who have been through cancer and are on the other side don’t want to look at the word anymore. Number two -- there was a larger audience to reach. Many of the same rules apply when we are talking about eating for a cancer-fighting diet and eating for longevity. We are still dealing with the major chronic issues that we all face which are free radical damage, inflammation, and getting a lot of antioxidants. Nothing really changes. What changes is the way the story is told, but not the principles of eating. One of the challenges with this book, in dealing with the topic of longevity was how to grab people’s attention and make it relevant to their lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Absolutely, one of the things I experience in working with people with cancer is that I’ve become really passionate about prevention. You see all of the steps that led to the development of the disease and you want to help other people make changes earlier.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> There are very few things in our lives that we have control over. But one of the things we do have control over is what we put in our bodies and it can be a joyful experience. We are talking about longevity and our connection with food being one of joy. This is a book about all of the things that you can have, not simply a list about all of the things that you can’t have. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I was really interested in your list of 16 foods. I was a little surprised to see coffee, chocolate and green tea on the list. We know that all of those foods have a very strong profile of phytochemicals. But I wonder if you believe that people need some level of stimulation to be optimally healthy and happy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Honestly it was really hard to get it down to 16. Here was my criteria, number one was the antioxidant properties, number two was some of the latest research coming out on brain health which shows that a little stimulation can go a long way. But really every recipe and every ingredient in that book could be considered on that top sixteen. So I was really looking for a blend of nutrient dense, antioxidants, phytochemicals, the right amount of stimulation and I wanted people to look at that list and be able to recognize those foods. I also think there is a psychological component -- giving people permission to indulge in some of the foods that they resonate with. Food is such an emotional issue and if you take away everything, people really get upset. When I take something away, I always have to give something back. Just because you want to eat well and be healthy doesn’t mean you should be relegated to the sidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you become a cookbook author, specifically one focusing on cancer prevention and longevity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I had a motivation at the very beginning. My father was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2000. I took a leave of absence and went to take care of him and I didn’t know anything about cooking for people with cancer even though I was trained chef. There was nothing out there! There was nothing. So my father was my guinea pig. Food was the platform of his life, so it was not an option not to feed him well. Then I got a wonderful opportunity (to work) at \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonweal.org/programs/cancer-help.html\">Commonweal Cancer Health Program\u003c/a>.

In \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/books/the-longevity-kitchen/\">The Longevity Kitchen\u003c/a>, Katz and her co-author Mat Edelson combine decades of practical cooking experience with up-to-date science on nutrition and disease prevention. The book is a feast for the senses, full of beautiful photos and recipes that burst with flavor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Get recipes for \u003cem>Golden Roasted Cauliflower\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Bella’s Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potato Salad\u003c/em> below)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Included in the book is a list of the \u003ca href=\"http://rebeccakatz.com/culinary-rx/\">Super 16 Power Foods\u003c/a>, foods that “nibble for nibble offer the highest levels of antioxidants.” I liked the list, but it was missing some of my favorite medicinal foods. Where was the broccoli with its anti-cancer and hormone balancing effects; or turmeric, the potent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">anti-inflammatory\u003c/a>, anti-cancer Asian spice? So, I was pleased to find that the second chapter of the book contained a culinary pharmacy -- a list of over 80 foods that are used as ingredients throughout the book along with their various health benefits. Here I found turmeric, medicinal mushrooms, broccoli and many more. There are also notes included with many of the recipes that talk about the health benefits of specific ingredients. These notes go into greater detail and explain the benefits of important foods that aren’t included in the Super 16 or the Culinary Pharmacy like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/01/28/5-essential-foods-that-reduce-inflammation-and-optimize-health/\">flax seeds\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/longevity-kitchen600.jpg\" alt=\"The Longevity Kitchen by Rebecca Katz and Mat Edelson\" width=\"250\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-58215\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\u003cstrong>Here are the three major reasons why I found \"The Longevity Kitchen\" to be a valuable resource.\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The first is quality.\u003c/strong> The ingredients in the recipes are truly health promoting. Katz emphasizes fresh, organic, unrefined foods in each recipe.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The second reason is that the book is almost entirely gluten-free.\u003c/strong> There are a few recipes that contain gluten but most include easy substitutions for people with sensitivities. In fact, many of the recipes are also free of eggs, dairy, soy and sugar making \"The Longevity Kitchen\" a valuable resource for people with allergies and special diets.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The third and most important reason is that the food actually tastes good.\u003c/strong> I have tested recipes from every section of the book, from \u003cem>Latin Kale\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Mango Lassi\u003c/em> and they have all been delicious. I have served these dishes to friends and even to my four-year-old twins. People love them. I got so many compliments on the \u003cem>Parsley Mint Drizzle\u003c/em> that it felt like cheating; its only six ingredients in the blender after all.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>As a naturopathic doctor I focus on optimal nutrition for each patient, and this often involves diet change. It is relatively easy for me to tell people what they should and shouldn’t eat. It is much harder to tell them how to prepare those foods. This book does an excellent job of bridging the gap and making healthy food accessible and flavorful. One caveat is that most of these recipes require some basic cooking skills to prepare. People who don’t already know how to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/skills-specific.php?skill=howto-videos\">chop, dice, mince or zest\u003c/a> may need to brush up before attempting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Excerpts from our interview are transcribed below. The content has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your previous two books, \"One Bite at a Time\" and \"The Cancer Fighting Kitchen\" were specifically targeted to cancer patients and their families and this book is targeted to the general public. I’m wondering why you made that shift?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> If I had one more person come up to me and say, “these books are great, but when are you going to write a book for the rest of us.” ...A lot of people are afraid of the word “cancer.” So even though the recipes in both of those books are yummy for everybody, number one -- people who have been through cancer and are on the other side don’t want to look at the word anymore. Number two -- there was a larger audience to reach. Many of the same rules apply when we are talking about eating for a cancer-fighting diet and eating for longevity. We are still dealing with the major chronic issues that we all face which are free radical damage, inflammation, and getting a lot of antioxidants. Nothing really changes. What changes is the way the story is told, but not the principles of eating. One of the challenges with this book, in dealing with the topic of longevity was how to grab people’s attention and make it relevant to their lives. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Absolutely, one of the things I experience in working with people with cancer is that I’ve become really passionate about prevention. You see all of the steps that led to the development of the disease and you want to help other people make changes earlier.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> There are very few things in our lives that we have control over. But one of the things we do have control over is what we put in our bodies and it can be a joyful experience. We are talking about longevity and our connection with food being one of joy. This is a book about all of the things that you can have, not simply a list about all of the things that you can’t have. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I was really interested in your list of 16 foods. I was a little surprised to see coffee, chocolate and green tea on the list. We know that all of those foods have a very strong profile of phytochemicals. But I wonder if you believe that people need some level of stimulation to be optimally healthy and happy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> Honestly it was really hard to get it down to 16. Here was my criteria, number one was the antioxidant properties, number two was some of the latest research coming out on brain health which shows that a little stimulation can go a long way. But really every recipe and every ingredient in that book could be considered on that top sixteen. So I was really looking for a blend of nutrient dense, antioxidants, phytochemicals, the right amount of stimulation and I wanted people to look at that list and be able to recognize those foods. I also think there is a psychological component -- giving people permission to indulge in some of the foods that they resonate with. Food is such an emotional issue and if you take away everything, people really get upset. When I take something away, I always have to give something back. Just because you want to eat well and be healthy doesn’t mean you should be relegated to the sidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you become a cookbook author, specifically one focusing on cancer prevention and longevity?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I had a motivation at the very beginning. My father was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2000. I took a leave of absence and went to take care of him and I didn’t know anything about cooking for people with cancer even though I was trained chef. There was nothing out there! There was nothing. So my father was my guinea pig. Food was the platform of his life, so it was not an option not to feed him well. Then I got a wonderful opportunity (to work) at \u003ca href=\"http://www.commonweal.org/programs/cancer-help.html\">Commonweal Cancer Health Program\u003c/a>.

Consider the 2-year-old to-do list: Get tantrums under control. Potty train. Transition from whole milk to low-fat milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking from experience, only \u003cem>one\u003c/em> of these things was easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As my daughter turned 2 in January, we made the simple switch to reduced-fat milk. Done. Don't need to overthink this one, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, I'm following the evidence-based advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2008-1349\">guidance\u003c/a> is based on studies that found children who consumed low-fat milk as part of a reduced-saturated-fat diet had lower concentrations of LDL cholesterol. Given the body of evidence in adults linking high cholesterol to increased risk of heart disease, it makes sense to keep an eye on cholesterol, beginning in childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you take fat out of milk, you've also reduced calories, which should help protect kids against becoming overweight. At least, that's been the assumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here's where things gets confusing. A \u003ca href=\"http://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2013/02/13/archdischild-2012-302941.short?g=w_adc_ahead_tab\">new study\u003c/a> of preschool-aged children published in the \u003cem>Archives of Disease in Childhood\u003c/em>, a sister publication of the \u003cem>British Medical Journal\u003c/em>, finds that low-fat milk was associated with higher weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's right, kids drinking low-fat milk tended to be heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were quite surprised\" by the findings, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/371\">Mark DeBoer\u003c/a> told me in an email. He and his co-author, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/rebeca-scharf\">Rebecca Scharf\u003c/a>, both of the University of Virginia, had hypothesized just the opposite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they found the relationship between skim-milk drinkers and higher body weights held up across all racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. DeBoer says their data also show that low-fat milk did not restrain weight gain in preschoolers over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study included about 10,700 children in the United States. Parents were interviewed about their child's beverage consumption on two occasions: once when the children were 2 years old and again at 4 years. Direct measurements of height and weight (to calculate body mass index) were taken by researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, this is not the first study to point in this direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2005\u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Berkey+Milk%2C+dietary+calcium+and+weight+gain\"> study\u003c/a>, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital reported that skim and 1 percent milk were associated with weight gain among 9-to-14-year-olds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Huh+milk+adiposity\">study\u003c/a> by researchers at Children's Hospital in Boston, which also looked at preschool-aged children, found that higher intake of whole milk at age 2 was associated with a slightly lower BMI (body mass index). The researchers concluded that switching from whole milk to reduced-fat milk at 2 years did not appear to prevent weight problems in early childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look at these studies together, DeBoer's findings become more intriguing, though it's unclear how higher fat could lead to lower weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One theory: It's possible that whole milk gives us a greater sense of satiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is speculative,\" says DeBoer, but if you feel fuller after drinking whole-fat milk, \"it may be protective if the other food options are high in calories.\" In other words, if whole-fat milk saves a kid from eating an extra cookie or a second serving of mashed potatoes, he or she may end up eating fewer calories overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the authors acknowledge, one of the shortcomings of the new study is that the researchers did not know how many calories the children were consuming overall or what types of foods they were eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is it time to think anew about switching toddlers to low-fat milk?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think there is harm in rethinking a recommendation, particularly if there weren't rigorous data behind it,\" says DeBoer. He says he hopes his results lead to further, more definitive studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is convinced. \"I do think that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">\u003c/a>recommendation to give low-fat milk at age 2 is sound advice,\" says Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">Stephen Daniels\u003c/a>, a pediatrician at the University of Colorado and member of the AAP's Committee on Nutrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think the \u003cem>link\u003c/em> between low-fat milk and higher weight makes much sense from a biological perspective,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the earliest studies evaluating diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol did find a link to less obesity among girls. And Daniels points out that in the new study, the toddlers who were on low-fat milk were already heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This leaves open the real chance that parents may have been choosing low-fat milk as a weight-management strategy for those who were already overweight,\" Daniels says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents, if this leaves you confused, one thing to keep in mind is that — whether it's whole, 2 percent or skim — milk is probably not a major driver when it comes to childhood weight problems.

Given the body of evidence in adults linking high cholesterol to increased risk of heart disease, it makes sense to keep an eye on cholesterol, beginning in childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you take fat out of milk, you've also reduced calories, which should help protect kids against becoming overweight. At least, that's been the assumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here's where things gets confusing. A \u003ca href=\"http://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2013/02/13/archdischild-2012-302941.short?g=w_adc_ahead_tab\">new study\u003c/a> of preschool-aged children published in the \u003cem>Archives of Disease in Childhood\u003c/em>, a sister publication of the \u003cem>British Medical Journal\u003c/em>, finds that low-fat milk was associated with higher weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's right, kids drinking low-fat milk tended to be heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were quite surprised\" by the findings, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/371\">Mark DeBoer\u003c/a> told me in an email. He and his co-author, Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://uvahealth.com/doctors/physicians/rebeca-scharf\">Rebecca Scharf\u003c/a>, both of the University of Virginia, had hypothesized just the opposite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they found the relationship between skim-milk drinkers and higher body weights held up across all racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. DeBoer says their data also show that low-fat milk did not restrain weight gain in preschoolers over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study included about 10,700 children in the United States. Parents were interviewed about their child's beverage consumption on two occasions: once when the children were 2 years old and again at 4 years. Direct measurements of height and weight (to calculate body mass index) were taken by researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, this is not the first study to point in this direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2005\u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Berkey+Milk%2C+dietary+calcium+and+weight+gain\"> study\u003c/a>, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital reported that skim and 1 percent milk were associated with weight gain among 9-to-14-year-olds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a 2010 \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Huh+milk+adiposity\">study\u003c/a> by researchers at Children's Hospital in Boston, which also looked at preschool-aged children, found that higher intake of whole milk at age 2 was associated with a slightly lower BMI (body mass index). The researchers concluded that switching from whole milk to reduced-fat milk at 2 years did not appear to prevent weight problems in early childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you look at these studies together, DeBoer's findings become more intriguing, though it's unclear how higher fat could lead to lower weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One theory: It's possible that whole milk gives us a greater sense of satiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is speculative,\" says DeBoer, but if you feel fuller after drinking whole-fat milk, \"it may be protective if the other food options are high in calories.\" In other words, if whole-fat milk saves a kid from eating an extra cookie or a second serving of mashed potatoes, he or she may end up eating fewer calories overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the authors acknowledge, one of the shortcomings of the new study is that the researchers did not know how many calories the children were consuming overall or what types of foods they were eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is it time to think anew about switching toddlers to low-fat milk?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think there is harm in rethinking a recommendation, particularly if there weren't rigorous data behind it,\" says DeBoer. He says he hopes his results lead to further, more definitive studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is convinced. \"I do think that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">\u003c/a>recommendation to give low-fat milk at age 2 is sound advice,\" says Dr. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/departments/pediatrics/people/bios/Pages/danielsbio.aspx\">Stephen Daniels\u003c/a>, a pediatrician at the University of Colorado and member of the AAP's Committee on Nutrition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think the \u003cem>link\u003c/em> between low-fat milk and higher weight makes much sense from a biological perspective,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the earliest studies evaluating diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol did find a link to less obesity among girls. And Daniels points out that in the new study, the toddlers who were on low-fat milk were already heavier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This leaves open the real chance that parents may have been choosing low-fat milk as a weight-management strategy for those who were already overweight,\" Daniels says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents, if this leaves you confused, one thing to keep in mind is that — whether it's whole, 2 percent or skim — milk is probably not a major driver when it comes to childhood weight problems.

McCord, who recently taught a \"picky eater\" cooking class for Sur La Table in Palo Alto, plans on returning to the Bay Area in early 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCord's food philosophy is simple: She favors recipes that use just a few wholesome, fresh ingredients and can appeal to a range of ages -- from toddlers to teenagers -- and adults as well. \"As a parent you don't have to be a short-order cook preparing four different meals for four different family members,\" says McCord, 39, who lives in Los Angeles and is the author of the new cookbook \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://weeliciousbook.com/about/\">Weelicious: One Family.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco celebrated Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, on Friday November 2 in the Mission. This traditional Mexican / Mexican-American holiday honors ancestors and loved ones who are no longer with us, and helps us take a moment to acknowledge and reflect on the importance of those people. The festivities took place in two parts: The Festival of Altars at Garfield Park, where artists created beautiful and heartfelt altars. Separately, a candlelight procession was led from 22nd Street and Bryant, wound its way through the streets of the Mission, and included Aztec dancers, musicians, community leaders and activists. The images following show the beauty of community, the commemoration of lives, and the rich cultural tradition that the Mission District has held for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Photos by \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/author/naomifiss/\">\u003cstrong>Naomi Fiss\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ALTARS\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\" alt=\"Day of the Dead: Mission Stop the Violence.

This traditional Mexican / Mexican-American holiday honors ancestors and loved ones who are no longer with us, and helps us take a moment to acknowledge and reflect on the importance of those people. The festivities took place in two parts: The Festival of Altars at Garfield Park, where artists created beautiful and heartfelt altars. Separately, a candlelight procession was led from 22nd Street and Bryant, wound its way through the streets of the Mission, and included Aztec dancers, musicians, community leaders and activists. The images following show the beauty of community, the commemoration of lives, and the rich cultural tradition that the Mission District has held for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All Photos by \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/author/naomifiss/\">\u003cstrong>Naomi Fiss\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ALTARS\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Fiss.AltarHERO-9948.jpg\" alt=\"Day of the Dead: Mission Stop the Violence.
