Why we should eat it and not throw it out: Each year the U.S. discards over 1 billion pounds of pumpkins after Halloween. Pumpkin is nutrient-rich, low in calories, and full of beta-carotene!

Please don’t come at me—while not every item was vegan, it was mostly plant-based. I was speaking to 1,000 middle schoolers (ages 11-13), encouraging them to eat healthier. Some showed up with energy drinks, Coke, and chips, but left with fruits or cheese sticks—and that’s a big win in my book!
