Following below are the different causes tacking big issues in New York City
Now the Cause which i selected and introducing is "FoodFight".
Reason of this cause selection:
I selected this cause because it take cares the whole participants of the education sector about healthy food i.e parents, teachers and finally kids.
The better kids eat the better they perform in their schools and daily routine of life. Parents are the one, who are taking care of their kids by giving them healthy food.
Teachers are the role model of the students. Mostly the kids look towards their teachers as their role model. If teachers are also having awareness about healthy food so they live healthy life and they work efficiently.
History of FoodFight:

In 2009 the idea of FoodFight was introduced. When experts realized that obesity has been spread epidemically not only in schools going children but also in elder people. To cope this challenge they brought a program for public awareness.
Then the experts gave training programs for small groups of teachers. They got succeed in their mission by noticing that the use of soda drinks and fast food were decreasing while drinking of water and use of vegetables/fruits were increasing.

After the success of their 1st training program they started 2nd teachers training program in which they got feed back from the teachers, and noticed that these teacher participants wanted more support for their own health journeys. So they introduced "Teacher Wellness Workshop" because they realized if they wanted to change unhealthy habits in schools first of all they will train them. After that, their next step was introducing "Parent Wellness Workshop" because parents should much aware about to eat & purchase healthy food items for families.

They also wanted to reach more people of the world, expand their work and put their field-tested materials into the hands of "School Wellness Champions" throughout the world.

As school is a important academy which play most important role for grooming ours children from every aspect of life e.g.our cultural & attitude behaviour, civilized citizen of his country, equality rights and no gender difference. Same like that our eating habits should also be change. But unfortunately schools are often ignore our healthy eating life style. Unhealthy food cafeteria is playing worse role in this matter in which they sell food is not good for children like fast food, bakery item and carbonated drinks. That is why it have become important to inform & correct eating habits of school going children. Same like this, school staff & parents are also not much care about their eating habits.
For this purpose the "FoodFight food literacy toolkit" provides school stakeholders for spreading and introducing food literacy education for increasing food literacy awareness for all members of the school community. After getting awareness from "Foodfight food literacy toolkit" teachers, parents & children can change their eating life style & choose better & healthy food.
