"In 2005, Bob and I-joined by some of the finest chefs in town,  took a small step in the war against childhood obesity by translating research into action and creating the Recipe for Success Foundation to change the way our children eat.  In Houston, childhood obesity rates are the highest in Texas, which ranks among the highest in the nation.  The loss of connection with food and the traditions of the table; reluctance to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and cultural preference for a meat-based diet; and reliance on processed food with a huge carbon footprint are some of the key contributing factors to obesity. We knew that creating a successful replicable program in this stressed urban environment would impact the whole country and potentially save taxpayers billions in healthcare costs."
