Raising awareness




Through the years we have learnt how important is to eat healthy food in order to have a better style of life. Sadly, even though we know these benefits and the risks of consuming fast food, people still cannot change their way of living and even worst; children seem not to understand the real benefits of consuming organic food and having a healthier living style. It is crucial for the society in general, start teaching to  children about the advantages of consuming organic food and show them how important is to change our eating habits for a better future. 

The first step to construct a different society is where children understand since an early age, how our eating lifestyle will change the way in which we live, also the way we will front the future. The kind of food that we eat define the way in which we‘ll front our life as old people. Many illnesses that people suffer nowadays are because of a bad style of living. 

Following that point, to start changing something, it is necessary to educate and teach children about choosing our food according to the necessities of the body , not just because something is cheap or fast. To make something of this possible, it is necessary to train teachers about the ways they can guide children in the process.It is true that it is a difficult task, because fast food is cheaper and it does not require much work, but if we think in the future and the benefits for us is wise to try. 

Now I'm going to present a video with a motivational message about the steps to start teaching and inspiring children to eat healthy food.

You may think about the relation with organic food, but you will see that there are many interesting things that probably you did not know about this fascinating culture. Lets see!

First The Rastafari have a particular diet called “Ital” a word that indicates vitality, or a vital way of life. This system of living has relation with organic food because they do not eat anything genetically modified. For them, our body is the temple, as a consequence we should respect and take care of it. Rastafarians that follow an Ital diet consisting of plants and whole grains, which are the basis of any healthy diet, will find it easier to maintain a healthy weight, and will live a healthier life due to their food choices. The Rastafari live in harmony with the creator and the environment, for the same reason food is produced on local family farms and cooks avoid packaged food from large supermarkets. The diet is primarily vegetarian, as Rastafarians eat no meat, chicken, pork, shellfish or fish without scales.
