Today in lecture we watched a video of how a local group in South Carolina took initiative and started a farmers market. The farmers market was great for that community because it helped people who otherwise wouldn't have access to nutritious foods and also supported the local economy at the same time. It inspired me to go the Athens Farmers Market on Saturday to get eggs and spinach (even though it was rainy).
I am learning a lot while doing my agency project. Mrs. Obama's Let's Move campaign is working in many ways to help end childhood obesity. I am very impressed with it so far. It has 5 key "pillars" that focus on providing nutrition education, access to food, and increasing opportunities for children to be physically active.
