2019_02_01_DC Deck_REVIEW

TO THOSE REVIEWING THE WASHINGTON DC MISSION PRESENTATION DECK: PLEASE READ THIS FIRST (note that many changes have been made to the deck since these notes, but it will give you the idea) This deck will be presented using an iPad and printed as an accompanying booklet. Note: I created this with a story in mind… to introduce the industry, acknowledge that we know it’s been a tough few months for all of us, so we’re keeping it light. I hoped for a fun atmosphere. This is created with an emphasis on the school food program. It has a new pulse map that combines all together… more stylized than before. That’s to set the stage and make it about the people affected by the falling prices (next slide), a result of Trade Barriers and other market villainy (next slide). The headline is from a website published this week. The bags show Indian tariffs, and EU for dry beans. Then we talk about declining exports because of those actions. Then we go lighter… our industry responded by increasing our domestic marketing efforts, and it’s working (educating consumers and the food industry). And, as a result, pulse crops are trending (next slide). This one is obvious. Despite that growth, we still needed help and we THANK our pulse champions. We consider YOU (the person we’re vising) as a member of the Council of Pulses (Thank You slide). However, of the three programs mentioned, we’ve only been included in… Section 32 slides. Food is already distributed. We’ve discovered education is needed and we’re providing it. We’re also thankful for PCHI… here’s what we’ve got out of what was available, and what we hope to do with it. Next Slide shows some examples of our research from PCHI. Note the obesity, it comes up next. Next Slide is the weight management video. This leads to the PCPP slide, showing our goals. Set up the next slide by saying, we’ve heard some people say that school lunches can sometimes be like prison food. Next Slide: A fun little video edited about comparing Prison Food to School Lunch. I’ve checked the data from it, and it is pretty close to accurate, but we’re only including it for fun. The point is, most school kids don’t like their lunches. Next Slide: Discuss our efforts with the Great School Lunch Contest. I edited the video to be a brief review of the contest. The point is, if high school kids can figure out how to use pulses in lunch, we should be able to. Next Slide: Compares a traditional lunch to one of those contest winners. Now, describe WPD. What are you going to do to celebrate? Here’s a re-edited recipe to make it fun… a Red Bean Pudding that can be made for schools, and kid approved! Then a call to action to join the HCH. I need to edit the image for this slide for better quality. That’s it. Drex
