Create A Change Now contributed to an article on “Chefs join effort to improve kids’ health by changing eating habits” in the Review Journal.

“Trevethan is a member of the board of a new organization, Create a Change Now. So far, the organization has 20 chefs working with the city of Las Vegas and five local schools, planting gardens and showing kids how to use the fruits of their labors.

“Right now, chefs are really popular,” said Candace Maddin, co-founder and president of Create a Change Now. “We’re getting into schools and planting edible gardens so children can get their hands in the ground, pull freshly grown carrots out of the ground. Then we bring the chefs in and show them how to cook them and make them taste good. We’re empowering children to make healthier choices.” – Review Journal July 18, 2010
