About Us
Mission
In the United States, Black adults have amongst the highest incidence rates of diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. Poor nutrition or food intake is one of four behaviors that contribute to these rates. Our eating habits start early during childhood and persist into adulthood, ultimately impacting our health long term. Black Kids Eat, LLC seeks to improve quality of life by reducing the high rates of food related illness among Black adults by creating positive and healthful experiences between Black children and food.
Core Values
Learn Knowledge is power. Providing and absorbing facts about food is the first step. Improvement is impossible without knowing the facts.
