Spoons Across America

About Spoons Across America

Spoons Across America is a not-for-profit organization founded on the premise that it is essential to the health of our children and our society to bring the joys of the table to the children of America. The table is where children learn about conversation, consideration, tolerance and other tools for getting along in society. When activities are centered around healthful food, children experience a fun and exciting way to learn about nutrition, the physiology of taste, and how food weaves its way through daily life, from the farm to the table. Spoons Across America works to influence the eating habits of children through hands-on education that celebrates the connection to local farmers and the important tradition of sharing meals around the family table. All of the program's recipes use a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which are beneficial to long-term health and well-being.
