Armstrong High School Students cooking vegan food at their FACS class with Jodi Gruhn
Over 200 high school students explore the “power of the plate” with wholesome Minnesota
BY Jodi Miller Gruhn-february, 2023
My visit to Armstrong High school was one of my favorite days working for Wholesome Minnesota. The FACS (Family and Consumer Science) teachers had promoted my “vegan” visit and the students in the seven classes I visited were incredibly curious. Some because they are interested in plant-based eating, others because they thought it was unbelievable that someone would choose a plant-based lifestyle. These two curiosities made for interesting conversations and a real dialogue between myself and the students.
