Superchefs at the University of British Columbia Alumni Weekend

Childhood Obesity is the largest epidemic facing children today as 1/3 people are overweight and 1/5 are obese. Here's a collection of dedicated professionals working with kids to help prevent the spread of this disease in a fun and compelling fashion-making them SuperChefs! This SuperChefs Cookery took place at Zajac Ranch in beautiful British Columbia Canada.

The SuperChefs Community Volunteer Program in partnership with UBC Dentistry aims to improve the health and well-being of children worldwide, by giving them the knowledge and skills to make healthy eating and lifestyle choices and instilling lifelong family and community values using food as a means of communicating these objectives. In order to help realize this goal, SuperChefs Cookery Society has partnered with the UBC Faculty of Dentistry to create a community volunteer clinical program where dental students help run the Cookery and deliver oral health promotion education to children & their families. This partnership will engage UBC dental students in the experiential world of community dentistry, and as such train a future team of health care professionals who understand and are dedicated to promoting overall health to the families they will see on a regular basis in their future practice. The program called the SuperChefs Cookery at Taku on Quadra Island took place Aug 8-11, 2010 on Quadra Island, British Columbia.
