Please see here for a written transcription of the story.
With or without a large kitchen, children can be taught about real food, our food sources, and the complete food system. Mary Schriner,an ecoliteracy instructor at Cleveland Elementary School in Oakland, teaches children about everything from eggs to wheat to cooking it all, with the help of principal Peter Van Tassel and an army of volunteers. The community support is heart-warming—and surprising.
