Finding ways to improve the food supply in Fall River is one of the goals of Mass in Motion, a state-wide initiative to combat obesity and the chronic diseases that result from overweight and lack of physical exercise. However, if people don't know how to prepare healthier foods, then it is unlikely that their diets will improve. In an effort to increase the cooking skills of local residents, Fall River Mass In Motion coordinator Julianne Kelly organized students and faculty from FRED-TV, representatives of Stop and Shop Supermarkets and Dartmouth Building Supply (DBS), Southcoast Hospital dietetic intern program, and nutrition and cooking experts Pat Bebo of the University of Massachusetts Extension Nutrition Education Program and Chef Bill Walker of Durfee High School culinary arts to create a basic cooking show. The series of programs, "Look Who's Cooking", will begin to air in the fall of 2010 and will focus on building a basic pantry of cooking ingredients and preparation of simple but nutritious and low-cost meals. Episodes are being taped in the DBS kitchen in Dartmouth as well as at the Rodman Street Stop and Shop Supermarket. For more information about the project, contact Mass In Motion coordinator Julie Kelly at 508-324-2411.
