Start the School Year Healthy!
Thirty years ago, most people led lives that kept them at a healthy weight. Kids walked to and from school every day, ran around at recess, and played for hours after school before dinner...today, children experience a very different lifestyle. Walks to and from school have been replaced by car and bus rides. Playing outside has been replaced by watching TV or playing online games. Make a difference at home and at school!
