“I think it’s the initial ‘wow’ factor that gets them to pay attention, and it gets them to realize that food is energy and you need to expend energy in order to require food. It’s something that’s fun for them and when they get to see a new invention like this, they take something away from the experience.”
– Healthy Lifestyle Coordinator Chris Hwang about Kaiser Permanente’s partnership with Give Every Child a Chance that brings a bike-powered blender to schools to help youth learn about eating healthy food and exercising.
