Healthy behaviours are formed in childhood. These healthy behaviours include the food eaten, playing and schooling.

Perhaps council could nominate a fortnightly theme which local schools & preschools could follow with colour in comps, find a word and similar. ie: 'apple week'; 'mince reciepes'; 'vitamin c week'...obvously choosing fruit or veg in season and encouraging butchers, fruit shops etc to have specials to compliment.

Make it trendy, colourful and have some childrens heros eating same.

What a great idea Now! My kids love growing vegies in the back yard. They know them all by name and eat them straight out of the garden. Vegie patches in schools, preschools and child care centres would also be a great educational opportunity.
