“How Wheat Works” to-date
The Council has received wonderful media pick-up on our new virtual wheat field web site that lets the participant experience a journey “From-Farm-to-Fork.” ParentingPink.com did a wonderful article on How Wheat Works with Adolescent Girls as well as The Daily Herald, About.com, Fooducate.com/blog, Campfire USA Newsletter, BlissTree.com and epicurious. The site proves to be a successful tool for youth leaders and educators. Nutrition professionals find it to be a valuable teaching resource to reach out to their clients. There are helpful teaching guides located on the Wheat Foods Council site under ‘How Wheat Works’.
The site has provided positive feed-back from the participants as well. Here are some of the responses:
- “I really like the How Wheat Works video on the home page – I had never thought about the production of wheat before.” ~Amber G.
- “I like the interactive program that shows wheat from fields to table and the recipes.” ~Deb C.
- “I really love the fact that this program is not only providing great knowledge about the wheat growing process, but will also benefit many people through their non-profit measures.” ~Ernesto J.
- “I think my favorite part of the web site is that they will donate flour to the troop’s family if you complete the whole farm-to-fork experience. It looks great and I am really excited to complete it.” ~Joanna
If you haven’t already, check out the How Wheat Works web site, and give it a try. Then come back and give us your feedback on it in the comment section of the blog. Please let us know your thoughts.
