New Lucena Ciry Mayor Liecel Mondejar-Seville has whipped up a delightful initiative with her KUSINA LMS program. The goal? To get the community, especially the kids, to fall in love with vegetables. And let's face it, in a world where hotdogs and frozen foods often steal the spotlight, that's no small feat.
KUSINA LMS is not just about serving veggies; it’s about transforming how people think about them. Mayor Seville aims to show learners and parents that common vegetables can be turned into tasty meals that kids will crave. It’s a clever move that targets both education and nutrition.
Benefits to the Community:
Healthier Kids: By encouraging children to eat more vegetables, KUSINA LMS is setting them up for a healthier future. Vegetables are packed with essential nutrients that help in growth and development. Plus, healthy kids are happy kids!
Educational Boost: When children eat well, they learn well. Proper nutrition is linked to better concentration and performance in school. KUSINA LMS helps ensure that students are getting the right fuel for their brains.
Community Engagement: The initiative brings the community together. Parents and teachers learn new recipes and cooking methods, turning meal preparation into a fun and educational activity. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
Economic Savings: By using locally grown vegetables, families can save money. It’s a cost-effective alternative to expensive, processed foods. Plus, it supports local farmers, boosting the local economy.
Sustainability: Promoting the use of locally sourced vegetables reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting frozen foods. It’s a small but significant step towards a more sustainable community.
Kids Love It!
Mayor Seville has a clear vision: to make vegetables a favorite among children, not just something they tolerate.
By showing that veggies can be delicious, KUSINA LMS challenges the idea that tasty food has to be unhealthy. Imagine kids asking for a second helping of squash or looking forward to a carrot-based dish!
Mayor Seville’s KUSINA LMS initiative is a fantastic recipe for success. It’s about more than just eating vegetables; it’s about creating a healthier, more connected community.
Eating a whole food plant-based diet that prevents and treats lifestyle diseases. By teaching both kids and adults the benefits of and ways to cook vegetables, New Lucena is on its way to becoming a model of healthy living.
So, let’s raise our forks to Mayor Seville and the KUSINA LMS program. Here’s to making veggies the new favorite and turning every meal into a celebration of health and community!
