EQ: What is most important to consider when developing a nutritional care plan?

Art Rationale

Why do "this" this way?

My plan is to create a calendar displaying photographs of a specific fruit or vegetable.  The pictures of produce is somewhat similar to a calendar girl (I guess... because Mr. Ogden told me to make the pictures "artsy").  There will be a "produce of the month."  However, the fruit/vegetable will be chosen based on the peak-season map; this allows you to view which produce is freshest in your area.

One of my answers to my EQ is "food justice."  Supermarkets today receive pesticide-laden produce from various parts of the world.  Also, most of the produce found in stores are not in season.  This means that the produce was picked before if it was ripe, thus altering the nutritional content.  It's also very expensive to purchase fruits and vegetables not in season.  If people only knew about the peak season of produce, they would be getting the best nutritional content and at a good price too.
