Food for Thought 2015–2016 proposal
$500 for your Ohio FFA Chapter! Implement a healthy eating campaign in your school. Can you get students to: Eat a good breakfast? Choose whole grains? Add fruits and vegetables? Change attitudes and behaviors toward healthy eating? This year’s special emphasis is on gluten-education! Teams addressing this issue will receive particular attention. Help people understand gluten and that a gluten-free diet is not always a healthy choice. Ideas: produce public service announcements; host tasting events; write articles for the school newspaper; partner with local groceries and food producers; talk with lunchroom workers, coaches, and health teachers for suggestions; start an advisory council in your school district. Ten Ohio FFA Chapters will be chosen on October 21 to receive $500 to support the implementation of their campaign. Showcase your campaign efforts at the Ohio State FFA Convention in May 2016. Deadline for this proposal to be submitted is October 15. One Ohio FFA Chapter will win $2000! questions? heather@educationprojects.org
