Brianne 8yr School gardens need to be a staple!

JamieOliversFoodRevolution 8yr @Brianne agree! Some studies have shown that children who grow their own vegetables are five times more likely to eat them.

FarmerDave 8yr i second more growing! I've seen it in my own community. Kids and even adults who are part of the growing process have a different appreciation for the food they consume. It's like they treasure the fruit or vegetable as if it were their own. I bet they also eat less and eat more slowly. That's not science, but a hunch!

SpiceySpice 8yr Hi Jamie! I think we need more people learning about food from other cultures. Food is such a central part of my family as immigrants, and I see the same thing among other 1st generation friends. It seems like once you are assimilated to the 'american' food culture, you lose that connection and appreciation of food. So maybe we need to have kids bring in dishes that represent their culture to rebuild that connection.

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr knife skills! I think we need more people to learn how to chop, because chopping veggies is definitely a barrier to cooking.

Riki 8yr Agree! Growing up in Israel, our primary school had a vegetable garden (in walking distance from the school) where the kids worked the land twice a week for 2 hours. The class called "Agriculture". We studied agriculture "hands on". Was lots of fun, while educational, and a great opportunity to be out of the classroom in the middle of the school day. I wish kids in the US had been offered "agriculture" classes too.

Anke 8yr I concur. Gardens should be mandatory in schools

Brianne Stir fry is my fall back recipe whenever I have to clean out the fridge. I also add tofu to my stir fry when I have it, but I usually saute it separately with soy sauce so it gets a bit more...

NehaNBB @MaureenS I watched it also. I love the part where @evanhanczor got real about the challenges associated with providing healthier school lunches. It's not easy what they are doing, but I'm glad...

NehaNBB Pan frying also works great for other sustainable fish like catfish. I'm sure this recipe would work well with catfish.

Brianne My favorite fast omelette filling: arugula and mushroom - because both items cook extremely quickly, are easy to chop, and add a ton of flavor - umami + spice! #FoodRevolution

mirasingh achaar like @chitraagrawal's Brooklyn Dehli Achaar. I make this for breakfast often because it takes me 5 minutes, tops!

munchiemummy Omelettes are my go-to, chuck-everything-in, lazy weeknight dinner. My favourite is just veggie-tactic: onions, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes 👌🏼

WHAT CAN I DO?
