"You're the Chef" production coordinators Christine L. Faherty and Jennifer R. McHenry, both pursuing degrees in culinary arts technology and dietary manager technology, demonstrated a few healthy cooking tips that cut the calorie count for a "You're the Chef" recipe in half. The demonstration was one of several kickoff events held in 13 counties across Northeastern and Northcentral Pennsylvania as part of the Million Pound Meltdown. The Million Pound Meltdown is being sponsored by Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania and television stations WBRE and WYOU to help encourage overweight people across the region to take control of their health and to lose a combined 1 million pounds.
