Common Threads

Today, American children are in the midst of an unsettling crisis because they are not being provided with the skills to eat and cook healthy. More than fifteen million children face hunger and, according to the Center for Disease Control, “one in three American kids and teens is overweight or obese.”  In low-income communities, children “are becoming obese at rates higher than the national average” and “40% of children in African American and Hispanic communities are overweight or obese.”  Additionally, those who are faced with these conditions are “at risk for asthma, heart disease, diabetes and other chronic health conditions.”  Fortunately, the non-profit organization Common Threads has made it their mission to teach children, families, and educators how to cook for life.
