Why School Lunches Need To Be Resolved | Cheyenne Buckingham | TEDxWorthingtonED

Описание: The mission for this talk is to demonstrate the need for reformation in our food system, specifically in school lunches. Our nation must place a greater incentive on instituting healthier food selections into school districts in order to reduce prevalent obesity rates in children. Leading a healthy lifestyle starts at a young age, and what children and adolescents learn in both the classroom and cafeteria plays an integral role in the habits they develop in adulthood. ​
