Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - Carrot Eating Contest. Hope you enjoy the story.
For those who's unaware, October 8 of every year is World Sight Day, a day for eye health, to increase awareness for eye health and raise prevention message for blindness and vision impairment.
I think we can also have carrot eating contest at various locations around the globe to encourage people to start eating carrot or eat more carrots for those already eating.
Since young, we should have been told not to be picky eater and to consume vegetables and meat and fruits equally.
Carrot helps our body produce Vitamin A which is essential to vision health. Of course, there's no magical cure for existing conditions simply by eating carrot. But carrots can help prevent or should I say delay the onset of age related vision issues like cataract and muscular degeneration.
Simply by repeating the same message is very unlikely to raise adoption, thus a carrot eating contest can be both fun and actionable. Getting people to start eating carrots, they need not win on sheer volume. They can be contesting in the different dishes that can be prepared with carrots. Or they can be challenged to carrot juice drinking.
Vision health is one that's taken for granted, maybe a carrot eating contest can help the population over time.
