Senior Policy Adviser For Healthy Food Initiatives
Quote:
Kass graduated from the University of Chicago before studying in the kitchen of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Europe. He then went to work for Avec (according to the New York Times) or Blackbird (according to Time Out Chicago). He has been serving as executive chef for the Jane Addams Hull House in an effort to re-invent the soup kitchen by using quality produce and shunning empty calories. He founded Inevitable Table, a private chef service that prepares meals with the following in mind:

We aim to promote a healthy lifestyle that focuses on the quality and flavor of food to encourage good eating habits. This philosophy provides consistency and balance to ensure you thoroughly enjoy your food experience. We believe that people have a stake in each other's health. This link is what binds us together as families, communities and a nation. Nowhere are we more powerfully bound together than in the daily cultivation and preparation of food.
When it comes to advising you on food and nutrition he sounds like the right kind of guy for the job.

No. We are a nation of obese people. That the First Lady is taking this up as her cause (as First Ladies are apt to do) is not a problem for me.

It's not even up to me to agree or disagree.
