So we know that 1 in 3 American school children is overweight or obese. And we know that most kids are not active enough and are consuming too many high-calorie, nutrient-poor foods as well as sugar-sweetened beverages.According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelinies for Americans "Primary prevention of obesity must begin in childhood. This is the single most powerful public health approach to combating and reversing America's obesity epidemic over the long term."
So where can your community begin to tackle this problem?
Well think about this...what if our schools' vending machines looked like this?
Instead of this?
Prevention Connections has two great opportunities for Virginia schools!
Take a look at the website www.preventionconnections.org/funding.shtml for Vending Machine Audit/Replacment and Safe Routes to School mini grants. The application deadlines are quickly approaching in December but the projects themselves can be conducted any time before November 2011. Call or email me with any questions!
