It is important to eat well where we play!

What we choose to eat or drink is influenced by what is available around us.  Recreation settings are meant to be places where we can be active and healthy. If the goal is to encourage everyone to make the healthy choice, healthy food and drinks should be available in these places.

Help make the healthy choice the easy choice. Ask for healthy options at your local recreation setting so that:

=          Children and youth should have healthier foods that help them do better at their activities.

=          Parents and relatives have a easier time choosing the healthy option

=          Recreation setting operators are able to attract more clients while contributing to improving the health of their users

Check out this short video about healthy eating in recreation settings for more information on why it is important to change the current reality.
