For Kids
The future generation. Children foreshadow what is to come in the future. However, the majority of children today are not getting the proper nutrients to fuel their bodies for success. Children are consuming all sorts of sugary snacks and beverages, instead of whole fruits & vegetables. By consuming so many empty calories through sugar, 1 out of 3 children are obese before their 5th birthday (cdc.gov).
However, not all hope is lost. By replacing these empty calories with nutrient rich foods, like fruits & vegetables, your child will have the fuel they need to be successful throughout the day.
