McCAIN Foods today made an announcement regarding the launch of McCAIN School Veggie Patches, a program that will teach primary school going kids concerning the origin and benefits of eating vegetables, so as to encourage them in making healthy food selections, by planting and growing a great number of vegetables in their own schoolyard.

Award-winning Chef and TV personality, Pete Evans is really excited to show his support for the McCAIN School Veggie Patches educational program, and demands that other schools should also register and start collecting points to build their veggie patch.

As a dad, he said that he recognizes the importance of giving kids the foundations for healthy living, right from the initial days of their lives.

Being guided, so that kids can make better choices while they eat, will be a part of a child’s developmental phase.

McCAIN School Veggie Patches is a fun and realistic program that is going to inform children directly concerning the food that they eat, where the vegetables in reality come from and the significance of eating vegetables on daily basis.

Nicki Anderson, Marketing Director, McCAIN Foods Australia and New Zealand, said she felt proud to make announcement of the program, which symbolizes a noteworthy commitment to children's food education from McCAIN Foods.
