Comments on: Shooting Higher & Teaching Kids About Food http://www.brandonsutton.com/shooting-higher/ Digital Marketing & Social Media Strategy for Change Agents Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Brandon101 http://www.brandonsutton.com/shooting-higher/comment-page-1/#comment-133 Brandon101 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:56:55 +0000 http://www.brandonsutton.com/?p=566#comment-133 Thanks for the comment Mike. This is an issue that I'm just starting to understand and I'm realizing the magnitude of the problem. The part of the video where Jamie was asking kids to identify the fruits and vegetables (and they could not) was shocking to say the least. Also stunning was the fact that life expectancy is decreasing for the first time ever. That is HUGE. Over the past few years, I've been much more aware of what I put in my body and I prefer food that I've cooked from scratch. I have a long way to go, but I've increased my awareness and taken steps to modify my diet to eliminate the majority of the junk that is out there. I continue to learn and modify my own behavior, and I hope to play a bigger part in helping others understand the issues around food as well. I look forward to connecting with you in person. It sounds like we are well aligned and can really propel this message if we put our heads together. Thanks again Mike! Thanks for the comment Mike.

We now share a common goal in life…to ensure that healthy, local foods play a larger role in everyone's life (especially children).
