NUTRITION CLASSES/RECIPES
When Christina is not working with a computer, she teaches nutrition classes for Bridge Housing and the John Stewart Corporations in San Francisco, Oakland, Danville, and Santa Rosa to youth, families & seniors. She specializes in Nutritious Organic Cuisine and Healing Foods.
Christina is the Nutritional Chair at the Silverspot Cooperative Nursery School in Brisbane. She is leading the school in developing an all-organic snack policy for the children. She was the author of a Silverspot proposal that was passed,
which limited Silverspot children to the least amount of non-natural chemicals. She established a list of safe non-toxic cleaning products for the school to purchase.
Christina spearheaded the Nutritional Newsletter at Silverspot. Click here to see the latest issue.
Christina strongly believes in supporting Organic Farmers and strictly buys only organic products for her classes and her family. "...every child deserves the highest quality food that was grown without harmful neuro-toxins and cancer causing chemicals."
Christina's heroes include Alice Waters and her mother, Barbara Noyes. "My mom tried her best to keep us away from white bread, high sugar cereals, sodas, candy bars and cotton candy. It was a battle, but she never gave up, because she cared about us. I care about the future of my son and the developing children of the world. That is why I fight the battle for high organic standards in our food production industry."
