Teaching Kids to Eat Right During the Summer
Good nutrition begins at home. It can continue
throughout the year, including the summer - in the Summer Food Service
Program for Children at a site in your neighborhood. The Food Guide Pyramid
is based on the official US Government guidelines for healthy eating. It's
designed so kids and adults can learn and remember how to eat right every
day.
So study it * * Practice it * * Show
it to your kids
Tack it up * * Talk it up
Give examples * * Make it fun * * Your kids will eat it up
And they'll grow up knowing how to
choose foods that promise healthier, happier lives.
