Watch this video on the importance of what kids eat and are taught in schools, and how this affects not only their personal health but the health of the entire nation. Important information even if YOU don't have kids.
Brain chemicals, neurotransmitters and hormones don't only apply to adults. What children eat and drink (and smoke) directly affects their ability to focus, feel well adjusted, happy and agreeable. It affects their likelihood of obesity, diabetes, ADHD, heart disease, depression and more.
MPR had a program on this same topic this morning. Click here or go to www.minnesota.publicradio.org for the online discussion forum on childhood obesity and school lunches in Minnesota.
