  • Healthy Eating with the Red Sox and MYC

    The Mayor's Youth Council joined the Boston Public Health Commission and teens from across the city to prepare a healthy and delicious meal just before the start of the 2012-2013 school year. They shopped for fresh produce at the local farmer's market in Copley Square and prepared a meal. After meal preparations were over, the group enjoyed the lunch with a Boston Red Sox Player and Mayor Menino. Check out the process and get the recipe.
