Organic Vegetables & Speaking Of John Hopkins

By Rob Sutter


When talking about the food options from school to school, it's clear that some have made greater changes than others. For example, there were quite a few elementary schools in New York City that have taken up more vegetarian options. It's clear that society is becoming more aware of the increased need to stay healthy, which is where I feel like organic vegetables and the sort have come into play. The same can be said about the recent changes made with John Hopkins University and there is quite a bit to talk about.

For those who do not know, John Hopkins University seems to be more focused on the idea of providing, amongst other items, organic vegetables for its dining options. The Baltimore Sun posted an article about the variety of options and there are quite a few to consider. As many as 25 different fruits and vegetables will be offered but that is not all. In a bit of news that should be able to grab the attention of authorities like Colle Farmers Market, by 2020, it is planned that the school will cook with only locally grown organics.

Campuses across the board have seemingly gone about this type of organic shift as well. The article said that JHU is one of a total of 19 different colleges that has taken part in something called the Real Food Challenge. For those who may not understand all of the details, this challenge is all about schools having to attain 20 percent of its supply of food from local farmers by the year 2020. With this in mind, it's apparent that campuses across the board have become all the more aware of natural crops.

It is important for you to understand where you food comes from, which goes without saying. There are many conventional farms that produce various crops but to say that they are the best would be something of a stretch. After all, these fruits and vegetables are typically treated with pesticides, which are synthetic and not the best that can be brought into the body. With so many different options to take into account, you want to make sure that your attention drawn to those which are most natural.

It is in your best interest to look at the litany of organic vegetables which exists. There are quite a few to take into account and they all promote the idea of eating healthy in the long term. This is a point that not only speaks true about individuals but entire campuses as well, it seems like. Hopefully the students that take up these eating options will be able to keep the knowledge that they pick up here so that it may be used later on.
