There are neighborhoods were it is difficult to find fresh food or there\u2019s a lack of transportation to go and get fresh food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a serious issue because today\u2019s teenagers<\/strong> are trying to grow their bodies and brains without some of the high protein foods necessary to do this. Most of these High Schoolers subsist on fast food, salt, fat, and engineered ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve got quite a challenge in front of me.<\/strong> It will be difficult to convince someone why they should try to change their habits. It\u2019s especially hard to tell a teenager what to do! However, my approach is trying to make the topic of Food As Fuel important to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m sure I could lecture about vitamins, minerals and the health benefits<\/strong> of eating fresh food, but my audience would probably fall asleep. They don\u2019t care about numbers. What do they care about? They care about how they FEEL on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPutting good fuel in your body is like using the best batteries in a flashlight\u201d,<\/strong> I tell them. With two flashlights, one is loaded with big, but cheap batteries. The second flashlight gets smaller and more expensive batteries. Is it always better to get bigger portions for cheaper? We\u2019ll see which flashlight burns longest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you eat better food, you have more energy.<\/strong> More energy means you can concentrate more. More concentration equals better results. So, better food equals better results. You can\u2019t be excellent if you\u2019re always tired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With this \u201cFood As Fuel\u201d mentality in mind,<\/strong> I\u2019m going to recreate one of the most ubiquitous foods they encounter, the Chicken McNugget. In the next video, I\u2019ll show them how to make a better, tastier, healthier piece of chicken that is fun and easy to create.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h2>Discover the difference between how professionals and home cooks are taught in my next<br \/>\nFREE Webinar Workshop<\/h2>\n<p>Claim your FREE Spot for the next webinar session by <a href=\"https:\/\/app.webinarjam.net\/register\/171\/8a8b40c96b\" target=\"_blank\">CLICKING HERE<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/app.webinarjam.net\/register\/171\/8a8b40c96b\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-25201 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/FREE-Cooking-Webinar-Event.jpg\" alt=\"FREE Cook Webinar Event\" width=\"810\" height=\"450\" target=\"_blank\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/FREE-Cooking-Webinar-Event.jpg 810w, https:\/\/webcookingclasses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/FREE-Cooking-Webinar-Event-480x267.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 810px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve got some guests in my cooking lab today.
