kidsaresweetenough.jpgEveryone should have access to healthier food and drink options where ever they go, and these options should be available to everyone, especially those in poorer areas, and should be available for our children from a young age, right? I know I appreciate it when I’m at the park and I’m hot and hungry, and they have healthier options like yogurt and water as opposed to just unhealthy chips and soda. I also think it’s nice when I’m at a restaurant and kids aren’t automatically choosing a sugary drink before I tell them no they need to have water or milk—it’s nice to know you don’t have to have that battle in front of strangers because this menu has a default water or healthy milk option, right?

Voices for Healthy Kids has developed resources to help you have access to healthier drink and food options in public spaces whether it’s vending machine on public property or drink options on kids’ meals. Check out what we have available today, and help kids in your neighborhood!
