17 Elliott County youth ages 8 through 17 completed the Super Star Chef program in June. According to the CDC more than 40% of Elliott County's residents are obese with 78% of the county population being overweight. This program taught participants various kitchen skills including proper knife handling, kitchen sanitation, and various cooking methods. Individuals were encouraged to try new foods and learned about the value of eating a colorful diet and how to incorporate nutritious choices into each meal.
