This blog will contain how our collaborative research is going so far!

So far our Collaborative Research Project seems to be coming along really well.  I have found a lot of interesting facts about this movement and I think it is a great topic to help implement within schools.  All of the work has been divided into sections where we are each going into detail about various celebrities and different grades creating our own lesson plans.  The celebrity that I chose to find a little more about is an advocate of the Meatless Monday, Gabe Canales.  He was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 35, so after being the founder of the Blue Cure (which is like the male version of implementing breast cancer awareness for women).  Gabe had to change the way he ate, and Meatless Monday was a place he could start, he joined this movement along with creating the Blue Cure to help make awareness about things that can help prevent cancer.
                Also along with our project we have found meatless recipes from allrecipes.com where each of the kid-friendly recipes is less than 350 calories and less than 10 grams of fat per serving.  We felt this would be a fun, and healthy way to get children in the kitchen making food (with supervision) and making their own food without any meat products.
