Coqui the Chef
http://coquithechef.blogspot.com
The coqui is a tiny frog from Puerto Rico. One that inspires pride in its citizens with its beautiful voice when it sings: "koh-kee, koh-kee!" Since he is a lovable frog that is widely appreciated we decided to dress him up as a chef to endorse healthy eating among children and adults. Whether you are Puerto Rican or not, there is a crisis of obesity and diabetes. Coqui The Chef wants to encourage the value of daily nutrition and well-balanced meals. Help him raise awareness and spread the word for prevention of obesity and diabetes by writing to us with your comments and healthy ideas.
