ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A new program gives consumers something to think about, whether its heating costs, renters' rights, or...food! It takes place twice a month on Thursdays in Rochester. It's called "Thursday Thinkers," and this Thursday officials focused on accessing and preparing healthy foods - a timely topic as we head into the calorie laden holiday season. Thursday, Foodlink nutrition educators were invited to share some important information about access to fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods in and around Rochester. Those who gathered at the Rochester Public Market from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. were treated to a citrus salad with simple ingredients: Romaine lettuce, red onion, an orange and dressing made with olive oil, apple cider vinegar and seasonings. "Partnering with the Rochester Public Market, where we can do food demonstrations on Thursdays, is a great way to really let folks know that 'hey, you can come and learn how to cook through demonstrations.'" The cooking "show and tell," organizers said, is just another opportunity to encourage these healthier food options.

The series is an adult and family enrichment hosted by the city's Recreation and Human Services Department. Next week's topic: Cooking a healthy Thanksgiving Dinner.
