Write a short article on the significance of growing our own fruits and vegetables.
Answers
Answer:
There is no comparison between the taste of a garden fresh tomato and a grocery store bought one that's devoid of flavor. The nature of the American food system is that grocery store produce has often been grown hundreds of miles away, meaning it can be days between harvest and your table. This process results in the quality of the produce often being compromised.
Though growing your own vegetables can seem overwhelming to some, it’s actually much simpler than it sounds. Even if you don’t have a yard, consider starting a patio garden or even an indoor herb garden on a windowsill. You’ll be amazed at how many tomatoes or peppers you can grow out of one pot!

Answer:
Childhood and adolescent obesity have reached epidemic proportions especially in the USA and the alarming rate at which this condition continues to increase is of great concern (Muriello et al., 2006). Unfortunately, obesity among children and adolescents is also increasing in South Africa and in other African countries due to western influence, and since behavior-related attitudes to obesity prevention such as physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption tend to decline with age, it is important that intervention efforts begin early in life (Muriello et al., 2006). Research has shown that the consumption of fruits and vegetables may be associated with a decreased incidence and mortality of a variety of chronic diseases which includes obesity. Fruit and vegetable in
take has been shown to have positive effects in terms of weight management and obesity prevention (Tohill et al., 2004). Duncan et al. (1983) conducted a study using a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fats versus a diet which was higher in fats but lower in fruits and vegetables. Although both groups were eating to satiety, the group eating the diet rich in fruits and vegetables consumed on average, one half the energy intake when compared to those on high fat, low fruit and vegetable diet. He et al. (2006) carried out a study in respect of fruit and vegetable consumption and its relationship to weight management.
