Did you know the microbial community living in our intestines weighs as much as our brain, and that this community appears to be associated with almost all aspects of health? Come learn about your gut microbes, and how to feed them, through an interactive cooking class! Students will prepare a nutritious vegetarian Ethiopian-style meal. Then, using the ingredients of this meal as "food for thought" in a teacher-led discussion, they will begin to understand the effect of diet on their gut residents and implications for health.
