Health e-Lunch Kids deliver safe, superior nutrition to America’s kids during a time when childhood obesity is on the rise. We provide school communities nutritious meals in the fight against childhood obesity and a healthier lifestyle one lunch at time.
As most of you may have heard by now, children are NOT expected to outlive their parents lives. This is due to the rising obesity rate among children, causing 147 billion a year in health care costs. This shortened life expectancy is larger than the negative effect of all accidental deaths as well as homicides and suicides.
Much of this is due to:
· 50% of kids calories come from added fats and sugars
· More than two-thirds of public schools serve lunches that exceed standards for fat content
· Highly processed foods make up a significant amount of food served in school cafeterias, making it standard fare
· Many schools provide easy access to snacks and beverages that
are high in sugar
· No significant exercise during a child’s day
We have developed a movement, come ride this movement with us!
