The Go-Green East Harlem Cookbook
For a city plagued by high obesity rates and diabetes, staying away from fatty foods is essential. A new book titled 'Go Green East Harlem Cookbook' is giving you an alternative to Crown Fried Chicken's and Chinese take-out.
The new book is in English and Spanish and features recipes from restaurant owners and community members like Patrice Clayton, owner of the Harlem Tea Room.
This cookbook couldn't have arrived at a better time, with child obesity and asthma through the roofs. "All too often, communities that have been left out and ignored tend to have the highest rate of unhealthy eating," said Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer to ABC 7.
Stringer, surprisingly edited the cookbook. He doesn't actually cook, but contributed tips for healthy take-out. Though the title of the book is aimed for a certain community, I believe every borough should take heed and come up with healthier food alternatives as opposed to waiting for someone to do something about US getting fatter.
