Fourth Grade Student
“During our fruits and vegetables lesson, we had a food-tasting activity. One of the vegetables I passed out was carrots. As I was passing them out, one student told me he had never eaten a carrot before, which surprised me since it’s such a common vegetable. Despite this, he was willing to give it a try. After taking a bite, he smiled and said he liked it and would love to have carrots again. Many of his classmates refused to the taste the carrots, so I was especially impressed by his openness to try something new. [He said], ‘I like carrots! I will try them again.’ Without the SNAP-Ed program, this 4th grader would not have tried any new fruits or vegetables.”
