“It’s important to keep quality products on your diet because it keeps you healthy. You could go out and eat something that was not good for you, necessarily, like a lot of sugar, and then you’re going to have higher doctor bills and all that. But, if you eat quality food that keeps your body healthy, then you’re going to save on money from going to the doctor. Just to feel better about yourself and to feel better about your day,” said Gina Dixon, judge.
The event helps promote eating healthier and more organic foods.
The winner received tokens to spend at the Farmer’s Market.
Augusta Locally Grown hosts community events every Tuesday that help teach people how to prepare healthier meals.
