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.

It's not like other campuses have not gone about this type of shift as well. In fact, the article said that JHU is one of 19 different colleges in the country that took part in the Real Food Challenge. For those who are not in the know, this challenge dictates that the participants have to attain 20 percent of its food from those who grow food locally by 2020. To say that this is a beneficial challenge would be an understatement. To say that schools have become aware of these crops would be an understatement.

If you want to know where your food comes from, it's clear that people require more than simply the location from where it was grown. You want to know that the best care was taken in order to clean these crops. Synthetic components, pesticides being one instance, are some of the most noteworthy and I think that these are the ones that have to be made. These, in my opinion, are why shopping options are so extensive and why they should be taken advantage of.

I think that this may come about sooner rather than later, especially when there are various organic vegetables that can be brought to the forefront. I do not think that many people understand the variety that these products can possess. You want to be able to eat healthfully and it's apparent that this matter of thinking has translated to schools as well. Students are slowly but surely understanding the importance of eating right because of this and such knowledge is going to carry on even after graduation is done.
