The Ministry of Environment distributes fruit
The Ministry of Environment has initiated a campaign by distributing fruit in various beaches in Spain among which is Alicante. The object of this initiative is to spread the benefits of fruit in human diet, especially in the summer months. Although the consumption of fruit in our country increased slightly compared to last year, the intake of fruit does not exceed 15% in the overall diet of Spaniards, children between 5 and 17 years being the ones who consume the least among of fresh fruit.
Informative phamplets will also be distributed to help educate the population about the benefits of fruit and try to increase the percentage they represent in our diet. A very good idea, we will have to figure out when La Playa Juan beaches will have their turn.
