We have an opportunity to guide kids toward a healthier diet, and to encourage them to eat and cook real food with their families.
Watertown, MA (PRWEB) October 23, 2013
ChopChop Kids, the non-profit behind ChopChop: The Fun Cooking Magazine for Families joined forces with Food Day to create a nutrition toolkit for kids: a 4-page booklet that teaches kids what they need to know to make healthy food choices, from comparing ingredients and reading a nutrition label, to generating the knowledge and power they need to outsmart food advertisers. Available in English and Spanish, the toolkit is available in the Fall issue of ChopChop magazine and online at chopchopmag.org and foodday.org.
“We have an opportunity to guide kids toward a healthier diet, and to encourage them to eat and cook real food with their families,” says Sally Sampson, founder of ChopChopKids. “Our mission and Food Day’s are closely aligned—helping people Eat Real. We’re thrilled to partner with Food Day in creating this resource to help kids make good choices about what they eat.”
In addition to offering the toolkit to families, ChopChop will join thousands of organizations in celebrating Food Day on October 24th – a nationwide celebration and movement for healthy, affordable, and sustainable food. ChopChop will distribute copies of the magazine and the toolkit at select Food Day events as well as use social media to build support for the effort.
