Healthy Eating Amongst Kids Should be Reinforced at School

Research has shown that what kids and adults eat is inconsistent with the U.S. dietary guidelines. Good intentions at home, where parents offer milk, juice or water most of the time, haven't been the same at school.

Once kids hit middle and high school, healthy choices compete against sweetened drinks and other nutrient-light, calorie-laden snacks. Chances are the child will push the button for the jingle that comes to mind, rather than the milk mustache. Healthier snack options have never been heavily advertised to our kids, a fact that parents and schools are up against.
