Cooking for Justice
Lisa Kingery, MS, RD and CEO & Founder, FoodRight, Inc.
Food is one of the most powerful tools we have for justice, health, and community resilience. Yet many Milwaukee students grow up without access to the skills or resources to prepare healthy meals. In this talk, I’ll share how FoodRight’s hands-on culinary nutrition education is transforming school communities—teaching children to cook from scratch, increasing food confidence, and building lifelong healthy habits. I’ll also discuss the broader Good School Food movement, why school meals matter now more than ever, and how empowering youth in the kitchen can help create a more equitable food system for all.

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
