Investigate and Explore
Take what you’ve learned to the next level to learn more and explore the possibilities.
Think about the ways that you influence others, and the ways others influence you. We’ve focused on food, in this example, but there are other ways. You’ve heard of peer pressure, and it’s not usually a good thing – but in this activity we’re talking about a positive approach to using personal relationships to influence others to make decisions that are positive for themselves, their families, and the community. Consider how that applies to food-based decisions, but go beyond that to think about how it impacts all parts of your life, too!
