What are your kids eating for lunch?

Corn dogs, cheeseburgers, and hot dogs. Does this sort of menu selection sound familiar? Most school lunch programs offer a variety of foods not in the best interests of your child's health. Perhaps that is why there has been a staggering 45% increase in Type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents. And many are making the correlation between Type 2 diabetes and childhood obesity.

Beyond health issues, there are also academic reasons for a healthier appetite. The relationship between proper nutrition and learning ability has been well documented over the years. In order to pay attention and get good grades, kids need healthy foods - not just at breakfast, but also throughout the day. According to a recent study conducted by the California Department of Education, higher achievement was associated with higher levels of fitness.
