Addressing Vegetable Deficiency

In an exciting initiative aimed at promoting healthier eating habits among students, Rissho University, located in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is launching a campaign to tackle vegetable deficiency. The initiative is spearheaded by the Rissho University Health Insurance Cooperative, which includes all students as members upon enrollment and focuses on enhancing their overall health.

With changing lifestyles, many university students often skip meals or neglect home-cooked options, resulting in an unexpected deficit in vegetable intake. To support the students, Rissho University is collaborating with Kagome Co., Ltd. and GINZA Suеhiro Cafeteria Service to offer engaging programs that encourage vegetable consumption.

Veggie Check Sensor Event

One of the highlights of this campaign is the upcoming Veggie Check event, which is scheduled for two days:

• - First Event: November 5, 2023 (Thursday)
• - Second Event: November 23, 2023 (Holiday)

During the Veggie Check, participants will have the opportunity to measure their vegetable intake levels using a sensor. As an added incentive, all attendees will receive a vegetable-themed snack for their participation. Notably, those who attend both events will be treated to an extra snack during the second session.

The event will take place from 12:40 PM to 1:25 PM on the front of Building 5, with provisions for inclement weather at the Ishibashi Tansan Memorial Hall.

Collaborative Vegetable-Rich Menus

In addition to the Veggie Check, the GINZA Suеhiro Cafeteria will also offer a special menu loaded with vegetables. From November 6 to November 20, 2023, students can enjoy a variety of dishes that celebrate healthy eating. The menu features:

• - Salad Plates - Deliciously packed with fresh vegetables.
• - Fried Chicken with Vegetable Sauce - Perfectly crispy chicken topped with a zesty sauce.
• - Taco Rice - A flavorful dish bursting with ingredients.

This special menu is available to all students, except on November 18 and weekends, and will be served in the cafeteria located in Building 6.

Participation and Inclusion

These initiatives are specifically designed for undergraduate and graduate students of Rissho University who are currently enrolled in regular programs. The goal is to raise awareness about the importance of a balanced diet and empower students to take charge of their health, making the consumption of vegetables an enjoyable part of their university experience. Students are encouraged to participate in both the Veggie Check and the collaborative menu offerings, as these events blend enjoyment with health benefits.

This program not only aims to combat vegetable deficiency but also fosters a culture of well-being and health consciousness among the student body. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enhance your diet while enjoying great food and engaging activities!
