FROM FIELD TO FORK – WORLD FOOD DAY WITH WHOLSOME MEALS!
CELEBRATING WORLD FOOD DAY WITH HEALTHY MEALS
World Food Day is a special day when people all around the world come together to think about the food we eat and how it gets to our tables. It's important to remember that the food we enjoy starts from farms and goes through many steps before we can eat it. In this blog post, we'll talk about World Food Day and how we can appreciate our meals from the very beginning, when they are grown on farms.
Farms Grow Our Food
Farms are like big gardens where farmers work hard to grow all the fruits, vegetables, and grains that make up our meals. They take care of plants and animals to make sure they grow strong and healthy.
Harvesting Time
When the fruits, vegetables, and grains are ready, it's time to pick them! This is called harvesting. Farmers and their helpers gather the food and get it ready to be sent to stores.
Food Travels to Stores
After the food is harvested, it travels to grocery stores. Big trucks help take the food from the farms to the places where we can buy it.
Choosing Our Food
When we go to the store, we get to pick what we want to eat. We can choose from different kinds of fruits, vegetables, grains, and more. It's like a big buffet of delicious options!
Cooking Time
Once we have our food at home, it's time to cook! We can use recipes to make yummy dishes. This is where our meals really start to come together.
Enjoying Our Meals
Finally, it's time to sit down and enjoy the food we've prepared. It's a special moment when we can be thankful for all the hard work that went into getting the food to our plates.
