Students Learn About U.S. Meat Attributes

Approximately 220 seventh-grade students at the Kipling School in Mexico City attended a recent USMEF cooking workshop, where they learned about the attributes of U.S. meat and encouraged to include it as part of a healthy diet.

“Better informing young consumers about the attributes of U.S. red meats in a healthy diet is a key element of building future demand for our products in Mexico, while providing important education about diet and diabetes – a serious health concern for Mexico,” said USMEF Regional Director for Mexico and the Dominican Republic Chad Russell.

During the cooking workshop, USMEF Chef Salvador Sevilla prepared U.S. pork loin with potato slices and apple purée and U.S. beef cordon bleu roll with mango and piquin chile. Students teamed up to practice cooking these dishes as Sevilla offered help and suggestions. Students also asked questions about meat’s benefits and how many times per week they should eat it.
