I think that their initiative will spread throughout other cities. Because I think somehow the people who started it, will spread it to other cities. They will go to that city and spread the word there, and also talk to the representative of that city , and talk to him/her about how making a place like Mesa verde is good for the neighborhood. And it will be better for those people in the those cities because the vegetables are fresher and healthier.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion. People will spread good things to other places. Mesa Verde's food initiative is good because it can produce the fresh and less chemical vegetables and fruits which is good for people.
DeleteI totally agree with your ideas that people will spread the good things each other through the community even other cities because this food initiative will bring the healthier and fresher food for the people.
DeleteGood point. After these people are successful in their own area, it would be a really good idea to share what they've learned with those around them in other communities.
DeleteI think that initiative vegetable garden will spread throughout the other city and neighborhood. The reason is that people patronize the vegetable garden.This would encourage La Mesa Verde's group to do more for the city and neighborhood. People like Mrs. Alarcon who always pick broccoli and scrambled egg for breakfast food will also spread the news about the garden. Most people through out the world loves fresh vegetables directly from garden or farm because it is healthy than the we bought from the store or super-market. It gives us more vitamins than the one we bought inside the refrigerator in the store.
ReplyDeleteI like your point that Mrs.Alarcon pick broccoli and scrambled egg for breakfast, cook some food from her backyard that's feel happy. And they can take fresh vegetable from their garden everyday.
DeleteIt's true, when people find something beneficial, they usually like to talk about it! I bet they will share the concept of the garden with their friends and make the idea spread.
DeleteI agree with you. Because most people want fresh fruits and vegetables to eat, and they contain more vitamins for our body, unlike the ones in the refrigerator.
Deleteit is true that peoples want fresh fruits and vegetables but they are also looking for natural fruits and vegetables. it is a point that i think it is also important.
DeleteYes, I think Mesa Verde’s food initiative will develop and spread to other neighborhoods. There are several reasons for why I think so. It is a good idea for plant food by them and organized a nonprofit group. If people participate the group the people who had low-income and the poor families can have enough food to eat. To buy food are always expensive than plant by ourselves. It will save their money. The food we plant is also healthier than food from outside. We can take care of the things we plant and enjoy the process. If we have a garden which belongs to ourselves, sometimes, we will feel very enjoyable. As like the book describes, people will wake up with the heady scent of vegetables and other plants. It is a wonderful feeling for most of people when they can get it. Many people never have this feeling if they live in the city. So gardening is one of the ways that we can feel it. Especially, when we harvest what we plant and cook them, many people will feel proud of them. That’s why I think Mesa Verde's food initiative is a great idea and it will develop and spread to other people.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion. When people got their harvest, they might feel excited and proud for self. A few people will try to plant their own food.
DeleteI agree with both of you. i think people are more than happy to have their won gardents.Once they are their own gardents,they will have the responsibility to take care the gardents.Noboday will help others take care their gardents,if the owner themself don't care,beacause people all have their own gardents to take care.
DeleteI think Mesa Verde's food initiative will develop and spread to other neighborhoods. The backyard gardens planted by nonprofit group that means they save money, and they help the low-income family get vetgetables from the gardens. Also, growing in their own backyard that their do not use any pesticide for produce. So Mesa Verde's organic produce is healthy for people. I think many neighborhoods will like it. '' to see them growing is a blessing''. said by a neighborhood. She is enjoying grow vegetables by herself. ''master gardeners'' will help new families to grow organic produce. Therefore, Mesa Verde's food will spread and improved residents health by creating backyard gardens.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, i think plant food in the backyard not just helps the poor people or supply more fresh food. Also it beautifies the enviroment.
DeleteI think you're right. In fact, I wish I had a garden in MY backyard!
DeleteYes. I think Mesa Verde's food initiative will develop and spead to other neighborhoods.This is a viable program which help people have the fresher, healthier and cheaper organic vegetables in the neighborhood. It's a good plan for those low-income families get the cheaper food and it's better for planting food by themselves.If people try to use any space in their backyard to plant some vegetables, then other people may follow this idea in the community because they can have the healthier food and may have fun in the farm.So I think most people will like to have the organic food in the city and this idea will spead to other cities.
ReplyDeleteThese are all really great points, Jianyi. And I think nearly anyone would be excited about fresh, organic produce they don't even have to go to the store for!
DeleteI think Mesa Verde's food initiative will develop and spead to other neighborhoods.According to the article,La Mesa Verde help people who are low-income. People can grow food by their own self. Neighborhoods can grow their own organic food. It is healthy for people. People can uses their house's backyard for plant food.However, people need to get together for plant food. When people hard working for the plant own food, they will be feel excited. It is good way for them to grow food by their own self. Therefore, I think organic food is more healthier for the everyone.Mesa Verde's food initiative is a good way spread to other cities.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right that this initiative will get people excited and thinking about their food. In addition, there is always a sort of pride when eating something you have grown yourself.
DeleteI think Mesa Verde’s food initiative will develop and spread to other neighborhoods.The idea of those backyard gardens has a great advantage for families with lower income. Low income families can atually grow their own healthly foods in their backyard.In this way,people can produce healthier, freshier and cheaper vegetables with lower cost, and they can save a lot of money as day pass by.According to the article, people are also more likely to eat the foods that are close by their neighborhoods. However ,after the programs have set up and spread,people could get a more afforable price with the heathly foods. They can have a healthy diet too.Therefore, I think Mesa Verde's food initiative is a good idea to spread to other cities.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it give advantage for families with low income. It's cheaper than buying vegetable in supermarket and also it's healthier and more fresh since it grew from your own backyard.
DeleteIt is true that this is helpful for families with low incomes. Imagine thinking you can't afford to give your children healthy food, then suddenly having an opportunity like this!
DeleteAbsolutely! This initiative will expand to other neighborhood and people will consume it because, it will be available everywhere. According to Mrs Alarcon" People don't eat vegetable unless they close by, and the human tendency is to eat whatever at hand" Eating healthy is something everybody know about. They might not eat healthy all the time, maybe they haven't get around to it, or they found it too expensive. When Verde's food becomes available in the neighborhood, people will have no choice but buy it.
ReplyDeletei agree with you. for a heathly meal, people will chose a healthy fruits and vegetable from their own garden. and it also save their money.
DeleteGood job referring to the article, Lissa. And I agree, having healthy food literally in your backyard is definitely a great encouragement to a healthier lifestyle!
Deleteof course her food initiative will develop and spread to other neighborhoods. becasue backyard garden will help a lot of families, especially the low income families; they can save the money which they spend in vegetables. for others they could get the origanic food from their garden. it's healthier than buy it from supermarket. Mesa verde's idea it's really helpful for people.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea about growing organic food in the garden because organic food are very expensive and this way poor families can afford organic food.
Deleteyes, I think Mesa Verde will develop and spread to other neighborhoods. people from other places will see how easy and good for other families is to get vegetables. it will be healthier and cheaper than buying it at an supermarket.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Melanie. People only need to see that someone else is doing it and succeeding and then I think they soon will want to try it as well!
DeleteI think that Mesa Verde will develop and spread to other neighborhoods since it's cheaper, healthier, and much more available. Buying vegetable in a supermarket maybe expensive and/or to far to obtain. People wouldn't mind if it's in a close distance, plus it could help save you money. Also, it's more fresh and healthier than buying it in a supermarket. As well for her garden being spread to other which may influences other on doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAll good points, Justin. In addition, going to the supermarket for vegetables is no one's favorite chore, I bet! This means the food is already at your house, which is a big plus.
DeleteI agree with ur idea. nice job
DeleteI think that Mesa Verde's food initiative will develop and spread to other neighborhoods. First of all, it will supply more fresh food，and it will be much cheaper than the supermarket. Also it may change the neighborhood to a new appearance.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Jackson. This, much like what we discussed about the school bus initiative, is something that might make an area feel more like a community which, in turn, will give people pride about where they live. Growing vegetables at home might help with more than just healthy eating!
Delete1.I think that initiative vegetable garden will spread throughout the other neighborhoods. it is more cheaper and more health. sometimes people pick cheaper one even it does not have that much available to your health. she likes plants vegetables by herself , she is enjoy it. so if the organic food can be more cheaper, more and more people will buy it.
ReplyDeleteIt's true that eating food you grow yourself is cheaper and healthier. Usually the cheapest option is what people choose, so if we can make that option healthy, I bet more people will choose healthy foods!
DeleteI think Mesa Verde’s food initiative will develop and spread to other neighborhoods.Because,it can help people with low income to have a change to start their own business , and also help the neighborhoods's environment . People get more health then before and doing better while they are working , in the end this program develop the community comprehensively .
ReplyDeleteGood point, Jace! The gardens won't just provide healthy food, but they will also encourage people to get up and be active, which is another great benefit!
DeleteThank you, and i love live in a place with gardens .
DeleteI think Mesa Verde's food initiative will show the neighbors easy ways to get fresh and healthy vegetables and spread to other neighbors.When people will find out that their neighbors are getting fresh vegetables with a cheap prize, they will eager to know about the process.And when they will get to know about Mesa Verde's food initiative ,they will gladly develop it and spread to other neighbors.
ReplyDeletenice point. urban farming can bring neighbors a lot of benefits.
DeleteI think Mesa Verde's food initiative will develop and spread to other neighborhoods because it's beneficial. They are a nonprofit group, which they can sell the excessive vegetable to the local resident, or to the neighborhood if needed, and it is cheap. The main point is, it's chemical free! and home grown! The vegetables are healthier and fresher than other vegetables that come from large farm/factory and processed with chemical stuffs. Lastly, if they are going 'Big" they will spread out the idea to the neighborhoods and to other cities and if people likes the project, so they will join too.
