Children are not getting the daily servings of fruits and vegetables they need for their growing bodies and minds to thrive. Instead of healthy produce, they are eating high-fat and sugary snacks. This leads to an astounding one in three school-aged children being overweight or obese. The next generation could be one of the unhealthiest ever if we don't act now. Children's lunches continue to be filled with foods high in salt and sugar, high fructose corn syrup is nearly impossible to avoid, and the healthy options remain difficult to find. The next generation deserves to have access to healthy food options and there is no better place to make sure that happens than in our schools.
This effort is going to take all of us.
This is why it is so important to take the Mind Gardens pledge and share it with your community. Mind Gardens wants children to eat right, not only in Jamaica, but stateside as well. Together we can shift this trend and get healthy fruits and vegetables to cafeterias and kitchen tables nationwide.
Help spread the word about Mind Gardens today, and we can build this cause (and more community gardens) in our own backyard!
