It’s “Iron Chef,” kid style.
The Children’s Museum of Houston is encouraging healthier lifestyle and food choices with chefs, health and fitness experts on Saturday.
Did you know the average person eats almost 1,500 pounds of food a year?
Healthy eating habits can begin early.
Kids are invited to discover what’s yummy for the tummy and learn cool facts about the fuel the body needs to get up and go.
