Did you earn your cape in the kitchen yet? Getting kids to eat healthy takes superpowers sometimes. Good nutrition helps children grow up healthy and strong, but did you know it also helps kids learn better while in school? Save the Children have just released a report called Food for Thought. This report addresses malnutrition in children and how proper nutrition can unlock their full potential. Did you know 165 million children worldwide are malnourished? Did you know that every 15 seconds a child dies from malnutrition?
In June, President Obama and leaders from around the world will be meeting in two global nutrition summits. These summits, called the G8, focus on nutrition for children– but, we want the President to put child nutrition at the top of his agenda. Please click below to send a tweet to President Obama!
