This is A Sustainable Mind, Episode 18.

What I was seeing with nurture is that so many kids had never seen some fruits and vegetables.

And it's not surprising that they haven't seen hickama or pomegranates or turnips,

but we're talking about some of the more basic cabbage and broccoli and cauliflower.

I saw in some communities that kids just didn't know what they were and what that meant is they were so much less likely to try

it because it was like the sensory process had never begun.

Welcome to a Sustainable Mind podcast where we delve into the minds behind today's

most impactful environmental campaigns, organizations, and startups, inspiring the

environmental changemakers of tomorrow.

I'm your host, Marjorie Alexander.
