Healthy Children

Sit mens sana in corpore sano (a sound mind in a sound body) is a famous Latin quotation. It is often translated as “a healthy mind in a healthy body.” Healthy eating and play lead to a healthy body. Unfortunately, childhood obesity is at an all-time high in the United States. We can change this by eating right.

An organization called the National Policy & Legal Analysis Network to Prevent Childhood Obesity (NPLAN) was formed to provide “leaders in the childhood obesity prevention field with focused legal research, model policies, fact sheets, toolkits, training and technical assistance to explain legal issues related to public health. [Their] goal is to help create strong childhood obesity policy interventions that will reverse the epidemic by 2015.”
