I woke up to a beautiful project to have better nourished children and seniors.

I was taking my nap and suddenly I woke up to a lady talking about using not so good veggies and fruit to make smoothies for undernourished children at first. They started during the covid watching children that could not be fed at school and that were undernourished and also obese as their parents knew nothing about nutrition. In my country the government feeds many of the children who are very poor. They are fed at school to see that the nourishment goes to where it should go. With the covid that programme ended and this NGO found a wonderful method to feed the children. They went to where the veggies and fruit went first and asked them to give them all the surplus. With that they made smoothies and they composted the rest. They bought a machine to make the compost and a place to do it. That smoothies were all vitamin and the children loved it. On the second phase they went to where cattle and other meat was killed and they made hamburgers with what they could do. The children has proteins! Now they are thining on something for seniors as seniors cannot eat what young people do. They hope to have less obese children in the future. When I was a child there was hardly any overweight child here. Now, with the fast food chains all around and the sedentarism, children are all like Little Lulu´s Tubby. Do you have such problem in your contry?
