See how one Ohio community gives foster children healthy lifestyle choices.
As basic cooking skills are often left to chance, fast foods and other quick fixes become the favored, but less healthy, choice. Here leaders team up to get kids involved in learning basic skills of cooking and how to prepare healthy food. The benefit is two-fold: exposing teens in foster care to positive women while they are learning a valuable life skill.

The USDA has announced a “Smart Snacks in School” proposal to serve as guidelines for school snack offerings. These nutrition standards are
for all foods sold in schools, including vending machines, school snack bars and foods sold a la carte. To read the proposed rule and provide feedback and comments go to regulations.gov.
An emphasis will be placed on foods that have as their main ingredients whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits, vegetables or protein foods. Occasional bake sales and birthday treats can still be allowed.
