FROM KETK NEWS, YOU'RE
WATCHING "EAST TEXAS LIVE"."
WELCOME BACK.
AND HAPPY TACO TUESDAY.
KAREN AND CARLOS ARE JOINING US
NOW FROM PALESTINE'S 4H CLUB.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
THANK YOU.
AND FOR BRINGING SO MANY
GOODIES.
SO YOU GUYS ARE HEALTHY YOUTH
AMBASSADORS TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHAT THAT IS.
WELL, FOR OUR ABLE WE'RE ABLE
TO SHOW OUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS
AND OUR WORK THROUGH DIFFERENT
WORKSHOPS AND COMPETITIONS IN
4H.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONTESTS
AND ACTIVITIES YOU TAKE PART IN
WITH 4H.
IN 4H WE DO A FOOD CHALLENGE
WHICH IS LIKE A TRUCK SCENARIO
A. AND THEN WE DO A FOOD SHOW
WHICH WE COME WITH SOMETHING
LIKE THIS MADE AND DO A SPIN ON
SOMETHING TO MAKE IT HEALTHIER.
WE ALSO DO NUTRITION AND FOOD.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH
4H, THEN?
A YEAR.
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
A YEAR?
SAME THING.
WHAT HAS 4H TAUGHT YOU?
4H TO ME TEACHES ME
LEADERSHIP THE MOST.
IT SHOWS ME HOW I CAN HELP OTHER
PEOPLE WHILE BETTERING MYSELF
AND BEING A BETTER PERSON.
I LOVE THAT.
AND WHAT ABOUT YOU?
IT HELPS ME WORK BETTER WITH
TEAM AND WORK, AND IN FRONT OF
AUDIENCES.
AND I HAVE BETTER POSTURE.
IT HELPS ME BETTER BE ABLE TO
SPEAK IN CROWDS AND JUDGES.
YEAH.
GREAT LIFE SKILLS TO HAVE,
RIGHT?
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FOOD.
HA HA.
TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE GOING
ON HERE?
SO WE HAVE A MANGO PEACH
SALSA WITH PINEAPPLES AND
STRAWBERRIES.
AND WE ALSO HAVE A CORN, WITH
CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALSA
ALREADY MADE.
A SALSA RIGHT HERE.
CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SALSA TO
SHOWCASE YOU.
AVOCADO YOU HAD ME THERE.
THESE ARE GOOD SNACKS AND TASTY
AND A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE,
RIGHT?
A HEALTHY EASY TO MAKE SNACK
FOR AFTER SCHOOL OR JUST ON YOUR
LUNCH BREAK.
EASY TO MAKE AND IT IS THE
BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN CHIPS,
POPCORN, ANY OF THE OTHER JUNK
FOOD.
RIGHT.
IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND SHOW
US HOW YOU PUT YOUR LASSO
TOGETHER.
OKAY.
FORTHIS ONE, WE START OFF WITH
PRECUT CUCUMBERS, AVOCADO, RED
ONION AND TOMATO.
AND THEN ADD IN YOGURT, LIME
JUICE AND CUMIN, WHICH WE
SUBSTITUTED YOGURT FOR THE SOUR
CREAM FOR A HEALTHIER
ALTERNATIVE.
AND WE SUBSTITUTED THE SALT.
WE JUST DIDN'T ADD SALT TO MAKE
IT LOW IN SODIUM.
THIS RECIPE IS HIGH IN CALCIUM,
POTASSIUM AND VITAMIN A, WHICH
IS ALL VERY IMPORTANT IN YOUR
DIETARY NEEDS.
AND IT IS LOW IN CARBS,
AND -- IT IS REALLY GOOD FOR
YOU.
YEAH.
IT IS NOT TOO SPICY TOO.
I FEEL LIKE IT WILL PLEASE
ANYBODY THAT COMES OVER.
THAT'S THE GOOD THING ABOUT
ALL OF THE RECIPES LITTLE KIDS
WILL LOVE IT, BIG KIDS WILL LOVE
IT, ANYBODY WILL LOVE IT.
WE ALSO HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
CHIP FOR ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF SALSA SO YOU'RE NOT
JUST STUCK WITH THE REGULAR
POTATO -- TORTILLA CHIP OR
POTATO CHIPS.
WE HAVE WHEAT THINS WHOLE WHEAT
HALF OF YOUR DIETARY WHEAT NEEDS
TO BE WHOLE WHEAT.
WE HAVE RICE CAKES FOR ANYBODY
WHO NEEDS LOW SODIUM, GLUTEN
FREE, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I HAVEN'T EVEN TA
TAUGHT -- THOUGHT OF RICE CAKES
RIGHT THERE.
IT IS CREATIVE RIGHT THERE.
I'M SURE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
ARE LOVING THE HEALTHY SNACKS IN
SCHOOL.
WE'RE ABLE TO HELP OUR
FAMILIES EAT A HEALTHIER
LIFE-STYLE AND BETTER
ALTERNATIVES THAN JUST TORTILLA
CHIPS WHICH YOU CAN FIND
ANYWHERE.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND PEOPLE
JOINING 4H FOR THESE SKILLS?
OF COURSE.
IT IS A GREAT PROGRAM TO GROW
LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND BETTER
SKILLS FOR LIFE.
4H ISN'T JUST FOOD AND
ANIMALS AND FOOD.
YOU KNOW, IT IS MORE THAN THAT.
IT IS PHOTOGRAPHY, FASHION
DESIGN, THERE'S SO MUCH MORE.
AND IT IS FOR ANYBODY, ANY AGE.
ALL RIGHT.
KAREN AND CARLOS, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR STOPPING BY TODAY.
THANK YOU.
