Meet the Kids Crew: 
Colby, Pepper, Fuji, Chia, Oatis and Olive!

Introducing nutritious foods at a young age leads to healthier eating patterns throughout life. Our Kids Crew helps make healthy foods fun!  Each Kids Crew character represents a section of MyPlate.  MyPlate is the general nutrition guideline for Americans and encourages us to eat more nutritious foods to support good health.  You will also see similarities in the colors of the Kids Crew logo and MyPlate.

While healthy fats and limiting added sugar are not sections of MyPlate, they are still important aspects of nutrition.   By reading the nutrition facts panels and ingredient lists, we will know what types of fat are in foods as well as how much added sugar, if any, a food may contain.  Mono- and poly- unsaturated fats, such as nuts, seeds, olives, avocado, salmon, and tuna, are the healthiest fats and foods with less than 10 grams of added sugar per serving are better-for-you choices!  

The Kids Crew are active for at least 60 minutes every day!

Not only do the Kids Crew teach us about nutrition, but each character also has a favorite activity which helps them meet the recommendation for 60 minutes of physical activity each day for kids!
