The Foodie-file: FoodShare’s ‘Great Big Crunch’
On Thursday March 6th, as a kickoff to nutrition month, students from across Canada will take one big bite towards healthy living through healthy eating. The apple is used a launching point to teach kids about nutrition, local eating, global food systems while following the journey from the apple seed, to the harvest, to the market, to the core. The Great Big Crunch promotes a day of food education in the classroom and encourages the class to participate in a “The Crunch†with schools across Canada.
FoodShare has lots of ideas for ways to use apples to promote healthy snacking, to learning about growing our food supply to composting our food waste. Their site has downloadable activities for kids in the classroom to participate in.
