By practicing a new recipe and receiving advice on buying and maintaining a healthy diet on a limited budget, Marshall students had the opportunity to enhance their adult skills with the Shop Green event on Wednesday night ... Eat clean.
"Many of our students told us they do not have the adult skills they want," said Dakota Maddox, director of student activities. "Then you know how to buy economically, ecologically, healthy and healthy."
It was Maddox who co-organized the event through an organization and partnership with Huntington's Kitchen, but the idea came from a Marshall graduate.
"I saw photos of a cooking class on campus a long time ago and I wanted to repeat that," said Stephen Holland, a doctoral student in health informatics. "I've always wanted to incorporate that into a nutritional unit, then you learn a little bit more about what you eat and how you prepare it."
The students boarded the Green Machine Bus to Kroger, where they met Marty Emerson, chef and director of Huntington's Kitchen, who gave them buying advice. From there, they re-loaded the bus to Huntington Kitchen, where Emerson taught the students Healthy recipe and tips and tricks for cooking and helped with the general preparation of meals.
According to its website, "Huntington's Kitchen" is a community food center where people learn, cook and experience everything a well-prepared kitchen and lifestyle has to offer.
"The property has a fully equipped kitchen that can seat up to 16 students and our mission at Huntington's Kitchen is simple," it continues. "We are here to help prevent and reduce nutrition-related illnesses by educating people about healthy foods and cooking, and our goal is to share information with everyone regardless of their culinary experience."
Huntington's Kitchen is a regular partner of the Dietetics Program at Marshall University.
Maggie Lane, a third-year student specializing in dietetics, expressed her joy at the event and her friends.
"That's my specialty and I love cooking," he said. "I was so excited to be the first person on the record."
Although Lane likes to cook, she sees it as a good thing for all students, she said.
"Show them that it's easy to prepare a dinner if you live in a bedroom now, if you do not live in a bedroom that's not as complex as you think, and you can be healthy, not expensive, and most eat from it. " People do not realize it, "said Lane.
Kroger's case showed that the price was reasonable by spending $ 60 to prepare the Chicken Stir Fry with noodles and zucchini for about 20 people present, with the leftovers available.
This is the first Shop Green ... Eat Clean event of the year after the smooth start of the event last spring. For the 2019-2020 school year, three more events, each with different healthy meals, are planned.
The organizers hope that the diversity of the event attracts students and provides them with information that can be recorded in life. That includes healthy foods and how to buy them at an affordable price, said Holland.
It also shows students that they can eat healthier and indeed save a lot of money by preparing their own food and eating healthily, said Holland.
Shop Green ... Eat Clean plans to expand its activities in the future. Although they plan to stay healthy, they also want to participate in more ethnic and diverse meals offered to students by their international counterparts, Maddox said.
The event is open to all students and currently has the opportunity to attend several times.
The next Shop Green event ... Eat Clean will take place on the 19th of November. For more information, visit the LEAD Center or send an e-mail to [protected e-mail].
