TEACHING CHILDREN THE IMPORTANCE AND PLEASURES OF EATING MORE FRUITS & VEGETABLES. A central theme of Food For Thought’s program is to teach children good eating habits early in life so that they can maintain those habits into adulthood. This is accomplished by working with the Ojai Unified School District to introduce fresh, seasonal, locally grown produce in a weekly salad bar lunch program for OUSD schools. In addition, Food For Thought provides tasting programs designed to introduce students to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables such as blood oranges, kiwis, yellow watermelons, persimmons, snap peas and tomatoes; as well as cooking demonstrations and nutrition education curriculum integrating California State educational standards.
