“We can all agree that government cant solve the obesity crisis alone. Its an ongoing issue that will require a collaborative effort across private and public sectors if we want to see some long-term success.â€
“In Ethiopia, where I was born, all the cooks are women. When I grew up in Sweden, my mom and my grandmother did predominantly all the cooking. Then I changed to restaurant kitchens, where all of a sudden there were just more men than women, and I always thought that was weird.â€
“Hard work IS its own reward. Integrity IS priceless. Art DOES feed the soul.â€
“I feel very fortunate that I was raised in a multicultural family, and it came through food.â€
