About TBYB

Our Mission

Taking Back Your Body is a cooking show that aims to raise awareness of responsible eating, responsible living, and the joy of life. Eating is a most joyous occasion for many people around the world, especially here in America. Food brings people together; cooking is an amazing form of art, which allows any person, regardless of age, race, talent, height, gender, hair color, or profession to indulge in its wonder. Unfortunately, the food system in our country has made some serious changes in the last 50 years, steering away from the basis of small-scale family farms to a corporate, value-added, processed, genetically modified, opaque, and subsidized model of food production. Paired with the shift of the food industry is the loss of meaning and joy associated with food and cooking. We hope to show our viewers the healthy, responsible, and fun way to relocate their eating habits, as well as bring the joy back to cooking by preparing delicious, vegetarian meals on every show.
To our viewers, Taking Back Your Body will reveal the feasibility of reducing one’s dependence on the conventional system by means of: cooking in the kitchen (with ingredients purchased directly from local farms, supplemented by foods from Four Seasons natural foods store), interviews with farmers, trips to farms, cartoons, puppets, music, and special guests.
Our hope is that TBYB will create a fun and interesting way to integrate environmental awareness, cooking skills, campus integration with the local community, and a desire to make a change in the world. American agro-industry reform is certainly a lofty goal, but it starts here, with small-scale local rebellion. Join us in supporting our local farms and taking back our bodies.
