I don't have the cookbooks in front of me but you could take a look at the grill-it cookbook, the healthy eating cookbook, and the meals for two. Maybe make up some flyer/poster that show the calories and cost in fast food/box meals and the same in real/home cooked food. You could give out recipes (that you print) for healthy alternative meal. You could also stop by they health department and pick up some flyers on different diet plans (diabetic, healthy heart, etc) and then offer recipes that would fit in that catagory. There are two websites that offer things for specific diets: American Heart Association and the American Diabetic Association.

Mainly show how cooking for your family does more than bond them.

Oh you could pull in obsity in children too!

Hope this helps.

The cookbook is I'ts Good For You. They list all the nutrition information for each recipe. At my shows I talk about the health benefits of PC products. The cookware coating won't come off as with a regular non-stick pan. You don't have to use non-stick cooking spray (it's flamable!) in it. The same with our stoneware. I even use less oil, although Olive Oil is good for you. The Kitchen Spritzer is a good alternative (I actually don't like this all that much, though I use it all the time). You can also highlight the Salad and Berry Spinner, Herb Keeper, and Salad Choppers-it makes preparing those healthy foods that much simpler. Even a cookbook like 29 Minutes... is good because it shows how easy preparing a meal is in lieu of take-out. The Kitchen Shears cut off fatty chicken skin. Even the suds pump cuts down on soap usage and is a good environmental alternative to using plastic bottle after plastic bottle. I also tell everyone that it saved my hands this winter because the soap is so diluted. Prior to my using it, my hands were very cracked and dry and itchy. Our stoneware is US made, therefore no lead in the clay. It also holds in heat so you are not wasting energy keeping things in a warm oven. Just some ideas!

I've done several Health Fairs. I hand out the following, along with a recipe card. If you don't want to create your own flyers about obesity, etc., contact your local hospital's dietitian or County Extension Agent,

Definitely have the set of prep bowls displayed. Since my son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in November, I found that 3 sets of prep bowls comes in useful for measuring. Everything with type 1 is carb counting. Definitely have the different measuring tools out. Small batter bowl displayed. Works great for preparing lunches ahead of time.

Stainless steel- displayed

use boxes on top of your main table cloth, covered with a cloth, to lift your displays. Displays look much better when there are different levels.
