We should ensure that every kid in Canada has a healthy organic meal at school and learns more about nutrition
Children who eat poorly are also more likely to develop long-term health problems, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease. Healthy meals would definitely cost more in the short term, but could potentially save billions of dollars in health-care expenses in the long run.
Children in grades 1-6 should spend a few hours each week learning about the importance of eating healthy, including taking field trips to local farms and greenhouses, while students in grades 7-12 should spend one entire day per week in studies and hands-on learning related to planting, nurturing and harvesting farm-grown produce. This learning would take place outdoors at farms during the spring, summer and fall, and inside greenhouses during the winter.
I believe children would really enjoy digging in the soil, planting seeds and then nurturing those vegetables and fruits. And I think they would also enjoy eating the foods they have grown and harvested with their own hands. No food ever tastes as good as the food that you grow yourself.
