Kids cooking from scratch, and learning why it matters.
Culinary nutrition labs for Central Florida’s K–12 students.
Real food, real ingredients, and a lot of smiles.
A generation is in crisis — nearly 30% of adolescents are now pre-diabetic, a quiet metabolic emergency hiding in plain sight on dinner plates across America. FG Kids is here to change that, one meal, one recipe, one lab at a time.
Every lesson takes food apart: what it is, where it goes in your body, and what it actually does once it gets there. Then we cook it.
Across two pilot sessions at Evans High School in Spring 2026, students engaged more deeply with nutrition science when it was delivered through spatial computing and heritage-rooted recipes — and the technology proved genuinely accessible, not exclusive.
The pilot reached exactly the population most affected by diet-related chronic disease, making this a measurable equity intervention with real, documented demand for more.
"Cultural fit is real — students connect their own heritage directly to wellness."
It starts with food — but it never stays there. Every recipe our students learn opens a door: to confidence, to identity, to a career, to community.
Bridging heritage, identity, and innovation. There’s a part for you.
Keep the lab running all year and help us reach more schools.
