Those are hopeful findings indeed! Speaking of hope ... I hope more of the hospitals and rehabilitation centers of the future will feature a natural setting. Beyond that, I hope they'll care for their gardens in the safest possible way - with conservative/limited measures to control pests, etc. Dare to dream! :) Be well! JP Good day, Nina!

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:08:13 +0000 http://www.healthyfellow.com/?p=421#comment-1868 Morning ;-) ot: what a wonderful pic! these studies are very interessting. those residential homes for elderly should be interessted in having such a garden and the healthier elderly could work there. i read about a study done with rats and little children (they where in the kindergarten. the researcher testet if theres a difference between organic fruits and veggies and non-organic and which one will the rats / children choose. you will know the end :-)! the rats sniffed the non-organic and went straight towards the organic carrots. the same did the children but it takes a little more time. within a few days the children chose the organic fruits and veggies. the reseacher concluded that little children have a very fine natural sense of taste which is destroyed by all the artifical junk food around in supermarkets. that gives hope :-) Be well! Nina K. Morning ;-)

SEEDS sounds like a wonderful organization! That's exactly the type of charity that I like best. People helping other people to help themselves and the community/world around them. Beautiful! :) Be well! Thanks, Bill!

Fantastic! This reminds me of a program in NC called "SEEDS." Years ago a group took a plot of abandoned land in a high-crime area and employed local teenagers to build a garden. The program has been unbelievably successful and teens/kids of all ages now sell their organic produce at local farmers markets, cook meals weekly from their garden for guests, and more! It teaches children from low-income families the value of composting, cooking, eating healthy, respecting the earth, etc. From what I hear it is a magnificent program and I would love to see more programs like it sprout up (no pun intended!). www.seedsnc.org A very “Michael Pollan” style article… Fantastic!
