Harvard University has been doing an experiment with the Culinary Institute of America, where healthcare professionals are learning nutritional sciences along with cooking. The purpose of the experiment, “Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives – Caring for Our Patients and Ourselves”, is for doctors to to be able to influence their patients into following their ways of eating healthy. Before the conference, forty six percent of participants were able to say they successfully changed the eating habits and lifestyle of overweight patients. However, after the conference, eighty one percent were able to do this. This is an excellent way of getting Americans to eat healthier, rather than only the patients who are obese or overweight ones. Doctors would also feel better about themselves for eating healthy, and being able to be the influence of their patients to eat healthier.
