South Miami Hospital’s Chef Richard Plasencia demonstrated healthy eating for employees’ children today who visited their parents’ workplace for Take Your Child to Work Day. The boys and girls, ages 8-14, listened to advice about eating a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables and low in sugar. After the brief classroom-style lecture, the children assembled their own healthy fruit salad, choosing at least five fruits from the buffet of healthy choices.
