Yosses will discuss Let's Move! and "Changing The Way We Eat" on Feb. 16... On the heels of First Lady Michelle Obama celebrating the third anniversary of her Let's Move! campaign in February, Executive Pastry Chef Bill Yosses will speak about the initiative at the TEDx Manhattan 2013 conference. Though best known for stunning desserts and gorgeous creations like his Gingerbread White House, Yosses is deeply involved with the First Lady's national childhood obesity initiative and is a riveting public speaker. He has given lectures on molecular gastronomy and Let's Move! at Harvard, as well as at culinary conferences around the US. (Above, at the White House)
Titled "Changing The Way We Eat," the TEDx conference will be on Feb. 16 in New York City. Tickets are $135 to attend, and audience members will be "curated"--selected by the organizers after applying--but the entire conference will be webcast for free.
Other speakers from the White House orbit include Chef Ann Cooper, a longtime school lunch activist who is one of the partners in the Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools project, with her nonprofit Food Family Farming Foundation; and Gary Hirshberg, the chairman of Stoneyfield Farm, who was appointed by President Obama in 2011 to serve on the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations. Among his many advocacy efforts, Hirshberg is chair and a founder of Just Label It, We Have the Right to Know, the national campaign to label genetically engineered foods. The full speakers list.
Mrs. Obama will kick off the third anniversary celebration for Let's Move! during the week of February 9th, and will have a busy schedule, according to a White House aide. More details will be released closer to the date.
