THIS IS SO SIMPLE! I’m a part of the Live Longer Live Stronger initiative in Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma Health Equity Campaign. One of the campaigns is if you have a Vegetable Garden, please grow an EXTRA ROW. Once you’ve grown the extra row please take the veggies down to your local food bank (church, food for friends, etc..). It’s cheap, and it’s good for all of those people out there that cannot each fresh vegetables. Please pass this along. “Goal: Link Oklahoma-grown foods with good taste and health. The health of Oklahomans can be improved if Oklahomans increase their consumption of farm-fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. Promote gardening, healthy cooking instruction, nutrition education and eating local, in schools, households and communities Limit the abundance of unhealthy foods in communities and require nutritional information be provided to fast food customers Establish local food policy councils in cities and counties to explore ways to increase production, consumption and overall availability of healthy local foods. To increase food security in your own backyard: Find and shop at a farmers market to support your local farmers Join the Oklahoma Food Co-op Start a small garden and plant a row for the hungry”
