The Veggie U program is changing kids' minds in over 100 hundred classrooms! The director of this 5 week organization, Barbra Jones, states that once kids plant the seeds and watch them grow, they start to look at veggies differently. Jones and her husband, Bob began veggie U to promote healthier eating. If the program continues to work, they can raise enough money to spread to over 500 classrooms in the USA. The program works with kids by helping them understand what veggies are good for them. The veggie u program is hoping that if kids plant and cook their own vegetables, they may decide to eat them instead of refusing to. The program is aiming to make kids healthier and avoid childhood obesity. This program is one that many schools support.
