Obesity, Cardiovascular disease, and Type II Diabetes are the top three diseases that are helping to drive our current “Health Care Crisis” all of which can be controlled with proper diet. My proposal is to create Green Peas Mobile Nutrition Center. I intend to refit a recreational vehicle with a greenhouse, demonstration kitchen, and meal planning center. Not everyone has access to a garden, but almost anyone has access to a flower pot. By driving into communities and teaching container gardening, cultivation, and meal planning, many can supplement diets with healthy choices that can not only stretch their budgets, but help their health. The key to combating poor health is to eat healthy and the key to eating healthy is education. I have not been able to find the right platform for the various crowd funding websites currently available. However; if you would like to donate to this project, we will handle this the same way. The first thirty individuals that contribute will receive a bound scrapbook of the people that we help during our first year of operation. Tell me what you think about this project. (And no students, if you decide to donate....it does NOT count toward extra credit.) I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
