Whole Kids Foundation™ just kicked off its annual fundraiser to support school salad bars, garden grant programs and nutrition education classes for teachers. Did you know that replacing one meal a day for a salad could translate into the reduction of 100 calories per day? That’s 10-pounds in one year! Encouraging kids to have fun with eating healthful can be easy with these energizing activities:


Here are 3 fun healthy-eating learning tools for kids:
·       ScrapKins RecycledArt DIY projects, designed by art educator and Jim Henson’s creative team alum Brian Yanish
·       AWESOME EATS iPhone/iPad game, download available for FREE on iTunes, kids can learn healthy eating tips
·       Better Bites printable activity with bite-sized nutritional info worksheets

To date, Whole Kids Foundation has helped over 2.2 million students (+4,000 gardens and salad bars) around the country gain access to fresh fruits and vegetables, with nearly $10 million granted within just two years.   It’s important to know that school garden applications are currently being accepted now through October 31.

    This is one of the subject that is nearest and dearest to me.
    It’s very hard to talk about good eating habits when I live in a country where many kids still go hungry, but you’d be surprised at how many bad choices people make with what little (or lot) they have.

    What is worse, I live in a place with a higher standard of living than is expected of a developing country, or even a developed nation and yet I see kids eating absolute crap every day. It breaks my heart.

    Coincidentally, I have a post today about being witness to those choices.
