The market also provided educational and advocacy components as well. Attendees were offered healthy recipes, information about healthy eating habits and guidelines on the importance of portion control. Displays of soda cans filled with sugar illustrated how much sugar is contained in soft drinks, and reinforced the importance of choosing to consume fewer sweets. The students also gathered signatures for a City Hall petition that asks for all NYC public school student to receive free and nutritious lunches. Students raised $100 at the event, all of which will go towards funding the next exciting Youth Market at Fannie Lou. |
