The Great Big Crunch - Students crunch into local apples across Canada

On Thursday, March 11, 2010 join students across Canada in taking one big bite towards healthy living through healthy eating.

FoodShare’s ‘Great Big Crunch’ invites students and teachers to learn about healthy eating and local and global food systems while following the journey from the apple seed, to the harvest, to the market, to the core.

In 2009 28,863 students participated in 125 schools from coast to coast, with teachers, staff and parents in a cross Canada synchronized apple crunch.
