Day One Wrap-Up: Healthy Kids, Healthy Future
Thanks to all who joined us for the first day of live coverage from Healthy Kids, Healthy Future. We heard from experts, listened to productive group discussion and wrote a variety of posts on obesity and childcare. The blog covered:
- President Obama’s request to Secretary Vilsack: “I want our children to have more nutritious food”
- Why one in three preschoolers are overweight or obese, and what we can do about it
- How much physical activity children get in daycare. The answer: less than you might think
- Early success in New York City to bring healthy food and physical activity to kids in daycare
- How a standing ovation can be good for your health
Tomorrow, we’ll keep the coverage going with a full day of original content. Highlights will include:
- Conversation with Bill Dietz of CDC on funding opportunities in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
- Panel with Kevin Concannon, Under Secretary, Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services at USDA
- Reactions from Administration and Hill staff
We’ll see you here in the morning!
