One morning during "Walk Across America," my son's school's campaign to get children (and adults) engaging in physical activity every morning for 3 months during the spring before classes begin, a little girl exclaimed to me, "I eat healthy. I eat my veggies. I LOVE my veggies!" I recognized that she was one of the kindergartners who had recently joined us a beHealthy Institute with her class for a field trip to taste fresh and crunchy raw veggies. She took hold of my hand and walked with me telling me how many veggies she loves to eat. As a mom, I could not imagine a better moment! These are just the kind of encounters that make The Giving Garden, The Great Veggie Adventure and my work with Seeds of Living Education so meaningful.
