Choose Your Hard: Masterchef Star on Eating Clean in a Junk-Food Nation
Description
We first saw Sharone Hakman on season one of MasterChef. Since then, he’s become a culinary innovator, entrepreneur, and charismatic TV personality renowned for his unique ability to blend bold flavors with clean, high-quality ingredients.
He’s here to talk about why you truly “are what you eat," how to make healthy food delicious, and why prison food is actually better for you than school food. This episode was produced in partnership with Neighborhood Farms USA, a national nonprofit whose mission is to promote health, wellness, and nutritional education through the development of community gardens and healthy food programs, and shared best practices.
