Healthy Eating at School and at Home

Eating well is important to the health of children and parents. Here are some ways to begin:

• Label reading: reduce your intake of high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, artificial preservatives, and food coloring. The shorter the ingredient list, the better it is for you and your children.

• Portion size: don’t super-size it.

• Eat a variety of food: explore the food pyramid and be sure to get foods for each category.
