During my reporting for Fat Battleground: Obesity in York County, I've heard many sources say better nutrition has to be taught from the start. Many unhealthy habits develop throughout childhood and are then passed down through generations.
While grocery shopping the other day, I saw a flier at Giant promoting a free hands-on field trip called Kid Healthy Ideas. It's appropriate for kids in grades pre-kindergarten through sixth, and it covers nutrition, MyPyramid, and healthy habits and snacks.
Most field trips have some educational value, and this seems like it might be a good way to tie in some useful knowledge that will help children in the future.
For details, call 800-987-6409.
Weis also offers a nutritional trip.
