A Thoughtful Holiday Season
Thoughtful about the Holidays
Happy Holidays!
The Holiday Season is upon us and so is the increase in the amount of food that people consume - but don't let that stop you from enjoying the season with healthy and conscious eating! What do we mean by conscious eating? Easy! We want you to look at your food, read where it comes from, read the ingredients and see if there is a sustainable alternative such as fair trade or organic. Why fair trade or organic? Great question!
On November 19th we had our Second Annual Thoughtful Thanksgiving event in which fair trade products, nutritious side dishes and conscious living was demonstrated and highlighted. Students, faculty and staff had the opportunity to taste vegan squash soup (with the squash coming from our Robb Garden), pumpkin bread (pumpkin from the garden as well!), fair trade chocolate and fair trade coffee! They also entered into about a dozen different raffle prizes, which consisted of clusters of prizes of all fair trade or organic products!
Here are ways to be Thoughtful about the Holidays.
