What's for Lunch?

Are you a parent with school-age children? Did you know that on an average day, a child may consume up to one third of his or her calories at school? That's why it's so important for kids to take nutritious, well-balanced lunches and snacks with them every day. After all, a balanced approach to good nutrition and physical activity leads to better long-term health and reduces the risk of many diseases, including the risk of many cancers.

The Prevention Programs created a Healthy Lunches Guide to help you create kid-friendly lunches and snacks that are healthy and easy to prepare. Click on this link or on the image at right for a pdf version of What’s For Lunch?
