Alliance for a Healthier Generation

Here is a great website about having healthier food choices in school and educating students to eat healthier foods. Rachael Ray is also involved in this program that gives parents and schools resources on having healthier food choices. I believe students make bad choices often because parents make bad food choices. Too many busy parents rely on fast food for their family meals, and stock their cupboards with unhealthy snacks.

I really liked this site. I think it is great for people from kid's tv channels get out and promote healthy eating. I agree that parents must be good role models for the children, but tv has a place to encouraging kids to eat a certain way. Kids are like sponges and absorb the information presented to them. They are likely to eat healthier if they are enticed by favorite characters and visuals showing fruits and vegetables to be delicious.
