*Interviews available, media attendance welcomed* It’s Time to Rethink “Kid Food” in AmericaOn Monday, September 12, 2016 a group of the nation’s leading health and wellness organizations, child nutrition experts and food industry executives will participate in a lively discussion exploring the state of “kid food” in the U.S. and why change is needed. From restaurant kids meals to foods marketed to children on supermarket shelves, greater strides are needed to improve how children eat. Today’s typical kids meal doesn’t serve our kids well -- nuggets, burgers and fries are the typical fare. Toys distract from real food choices. Artificial additives are used for color and flavor.
Interview opportunities available at or after the event. Credentialed media attendance encouraged.
