Healthy Choices? Let's Take a Vote!

"Healthy"..."vegetables".... "they are good for you" are words that my students or even my own children don't want to hear. Unfortunately, with the growing obesity rate in our country, these are the very things we need to help us become strong, healthy and fuel successful learning. 

DISD's Food and Nutrition Services has taken on a new initiative to get our children to eat more veggies.  A few weeks ago, our school was among the first to have a "taste testing" of these delicious vegetables which are provided in our school cafeteria daily.  We were delivered a box with 25 plastic containers of assorted vegetables. These vegetables included broccoli, red bell peppers, and carrots. The students were asked to use their senses to rate each vegetable on a scale of 1 to 5. They even included some Ranch Dressing. Their responses were very positive!  Their favorite veggie was the broccoli because it looked like a tree!
