ONE Fights Poverty + Hunger With Sweet Potatoes
ONE’s current campaign, A Recipe 4 Change, is calling on world leaders to put sweet potatoes on menus to save 25 million children from chronic malnutrition by 2016. What is ONE you ask?
“ONE is a grassroots advocacy and campaigning organization that fights extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa, by raising public awareness and pressuring political leaders to support smart and effective policies and programs that are saving lives….”
You can support the campaign by doing the following:
- Sign the Sweet Potatoes on the Menu, Nutrition on the Agenda petition here. So far they’ve reach 87% of their goal!
- ‘Like’ ONE on Facebook and stay up to day on their efforts.
- Submit a recipe to the digital sweet potato cookbook.
- Watch the Funny or Die video of Claude, the 9-foot mustachioed sweet potato, fighting for nutrition in Washington and post on your Facebook or Twitter to raise awareness.

I’m trying to find out if sweet potatoes can be frozen.
