OUR NUTRITION PROGRAM – Values
Our commitment to using organic and natural ingredients in preparing fresh, home-made meals will create a healthier choice for future eating habits, that will promote healthier living habits that we all can strive for!
The disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world can be omitted, and reintroduced thru these methods. Proponents of this movement believe in taking pride in what one cooks and using locally and organically grown fruits and vegetables. Shopping at the local farmer’s markets and selecting prime fruits and vegetables from certified organic farmers boosts the local economy and promotes healthier commerce to the hard working farmers who grow these delicacies for our consumption, and fosters the tradition of thinking globally, and acting locally!
There are four meals during the day: breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack.
