Author and chef Art Smith is looking for a few good moms – those devoted to getting their kids and their communities to love eating vegetables. Chef Smith – celebrity chef for Oprah and a host of others – will host a Love Your Veggies retreat for winners of the “Search for Veggie Champions Contest.” The goal is to help moms everywhere raise veggie-loving kids.

The campaign is an initiative that has now awarded 51 elementary schools nationwide each with $10,000 grants to help provide students with greater access to fresh vegetables and fruits during school meals. Earlier this year Love Your Veggies published a book by actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley to support their cause.

The lovely actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley is rolling up her sleeves in the name of activism for healthy eating among children – Plopping children in front of TV for an episode of Popeye eating spinach to gain power is not the only clever way to get kids to love their veggies!

Paisley has not only taken this matter to heart but she has taken pen to paper, writing the book entitled Henry and the Hidden Veggie Garden. It is her first book, written in support of the Love Your Veggies Nationwide School Lunch Campaign, which has awarded 51 elementary schools each with a $10,000 nutrition grant.

The aim of the campaign is to increase the access to – and consumption of – fruits and vegetables in elementary schools across the country at a time when schools are required by federal mandate to strengthen nutrition and exercise programs as part of local wellness policies.
