Idea Submission for The People's Money:
We should expand nutrition/health education to elementary and middle schoolers to instill healthier habits into our next generation. This should either be implemented into curriculums or at least workshops that showcase the long term benefits and effects of healthy diets and high in processed foods
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
They should receive more funding because even nationally, and especially in inner city schools with high poverty rates struggle in the overall health and nutrition of their students
Which groups does your idea focus on? Select all that apply
Youth (under 24)
