Cook for America® is a new paradigm in which
school food becomes a powerful and effective tool in the fight against childhood obesity and other diet-related illnesses.

Distinguishing the Cook for America® approach from that of countless other school food reform projects is its emphasis on holistic, systemic change through the creation of a school foodservice work force that is both capable of preparing healthy scratch-cooked meals from whole, fresh foods, and empowered and motivated to do so.

The Cook for America® Motto:
School food is the solution, not the problem!
