GOT SNACKS?
by Robert Diamond
- Mar 4, 2014
Making poor nutritional choices like grabbing a candy bar or sweetened beverage - can be easy and tempting, especially for kids. With snacks accounting for nearly a third of calories in children's diets[1], however, these "handy options" don't provide the vitamins and nutrients kids need for healthy growth. Furthermore, the National Institutes of Child Health report that almost 90 percent of girls and more than 80 percent of boys ages nine to 13 have inadequate calcium intake[2]. To help combat these growing trends and in observance of National Nutrition Month, the California Milk Processor Board (CMPB), the creator of got milk?, has partnered with former Disney Chef Gino Campagna to inform families about making healthy food choices and offer solutions kids themselves can implement. This month, got milk? will sponsor FREE children's cooking classes, led by Chef Gino, at select local community organizations throughout California to teach them how to prepare calcium-rich after-school snacks.
