Thanks and Giving

With our beloved holiday just around the corner, we couldn’t resist giving thanks to Chef José Andrés, winner of the “Outstanding Chef” and “Humanitarian of the Year” awards by the James Beard foundation for his founding of the World Central Kitchen, a non-profit devoted to feeding survivors of natural disasters around the world.
 
Andrés is a busy guy; not only have his restaurants won Michelin stars, he recently published a new cookbook, Vegetables Unleashed, and just appeared on National Public Radio where he proclaimed his love of canned food! When asked what he likes to enjoy when he tires of “fancy food,” he said: canned food. “Yeah. I love cans—canned food.” From caviar to SPAM, this acclaimed chef is a big fan of the can. “I like food in a can. Let me put it this way. Imagine you’re hungry. You have nobody around you. You have a can. You open the can. You are eating. Amazing.”
 
We were huge fans of Andrés’s work before, but we feel even more inspired to share his story. Not only is he a tour de force in his approach to saving lives, but he’s given a little boost to the beloved can along the way. Cheers to you Chef Andrés!

National Fruits & Veggies Month Recap

September was The Produce for Better Health’s (PBH) National Fruits and Veggies Month™, a four-week long celebration of life’s favorite plants - fruits and veggies! PBH asked people to join them in celebrating by enjoying all of the fruits and veggies that we know and love – fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100% juice – that taste great and are proven to support health and happiness!

"We're excited to report we reached hundreds of thousands of Americans with PBH's new Have A Plant
Movement through National Fruits and Veggies Month™ this Septemer. The goal was to encourage everyone to eat more of Americans’ favorite plants – fruits and veggies, in all of their glorious forms—and celebrate food rooted in a better mood,” says Katie Toulouse, PBH’s Marketing and Communications Director.  “With nearly 90% of Americans falling below fruit and vegetable recommendations, everyone is needed to make a meaningful impact. The time is now to elevate fruit and vegetable consumption as one of our nation’s top priorities and we’re hoping to keep the momentum going by continuing to encourage people to Have A Plant™ at every meal occasion moving forward.”
