We walked into a thirty passenger bus that took us to the Fruit and Vegetable Research Center here on Main Campus. As soon as we walked into the first room, we were given a powerpoint presentation. In the presentation, we were told how the different colors of fruit help you prevent different diseases and illnesses. After they talked to us about that, they brought in fruit of every color and allowed us to eat it. I honestly thought it was outstanding. We then moved into a lab where a scientist talked to us about how the university enhances onions and a while back discovered the purple(maroon) carrot.

            They moved us into another lab, where a student from the University of Texas who was studying fruit, explained to us how fruit may help stop cancer in the future. They were currently working on that as we walked in.
