Vulcan CEO Jody Allen is challenging you to create a nutritious dish using five criteria, and then share that dish with your coworkers. The dish should be nutritionally complete, and made of ingredients that are local, minimally processed and sustainable. Above all, the dish should be tasty!

Jody's five criteria:

1. Nutritional: This dish should be nutritionally complete. That means it must incorporate at least 3 of the 5 food groups in the Food Pyramid.
   

   For example: Kale (vegetables), kidney beans (meat/beans) and quinoa (grains).

2. Local: One of the main ingredients in the dish needs to be a locally grown. Visit a farmer's market, co-op, or shop that sells local goods to get what you need.
   

   For example: Test out milk from a local dairy or use fresh carrots from your own backyard.

3. Minimally processed: One of the main ingredients in the dish needs to be minimally processed.
   

   For example: Brown or wild rice versus white rice.

4. Responsibility: Incorporate at least one sustainable ingredient into your dish.
   

   For example: Use clams farmed in environmentally friendly ways.

5. Taste: This dish may be healthy, but it has to taste good too!

Once you've whipped up your dish using the five criteria, bring it into the office to share with a few colleagues. Please email the recipe you used to vibe@vulcan.com so that we can share it with the company. After you've done this, you can check off the CEO Challenge in your online vibe account and get 500 points.

Details: This is a one-time challenge

End date: June 29, 2012

Bonus! Food Fighter component: Feel like adding an extra challenge onto this? Have a coworker submit an online evaluation of your dish, and Jody will donate $50 to Food Fighters if your dish meets each of the five criteria above. Jody will donate up to $5,000 for this challenge.
