Wellness conclusion

In WB4, my overall intake ofKcal was higher, this boostedVitamin E, Calcium, andFiber to goal levels without

me having to eat specificfoods to raise them. Whenplanning the WB4, Ithoughtfully used a widerrange of fruits andvegetables. There was amajor deficiency in VitaminD, but I solved that byadding in milk and dairy.

The Growers Association

The California Sweet Potato Council started in January 1977from a small group of farmers in Livingston, California.

Their main objective is, "to put together polices and

programs which enhance the Sweet Potato industry inCalifornia.

The council also follows trends in the markets.

With the increase in sweet potato consumption comes more

research leading to discover that it can be grown and used toproduce ethanol for fuel. This would be more cost effectivethan growing corn and could help ease the nationsdependency on corn crops.

Life LessonMan often becomes what hebelieves himself to be. If I keepon saying to myself that Icannot do a certain thing, it is

possible that I may end byreally becoming incapable ofdoing it. On the contrary, if Ihave the belief that I can do it,

I shall surely acquire thecapacity to do it even if I maynot have it at the beginning.

Mahatma Gandhi
