CLEMSON UNIVERSITY — Collards as an alternative to potato chips? Children who watch a new series of DVDs called “Lucy’s Tasty Treats” just might think so.
Developed by Clemson University food science and human nutrition Professor Katherine Cason, the series uses a “farm to fork” approach, taking viewers through the entire food production process. There’s also lots of advice about healthy meals and snacks kids can make.
“Kids are more inclined to taste and consume foods they learn more about and help prepare,” said Cason, who filmed one show at a Lexington collard farm.
