With Patty Canton, HealthSmart! Consulting

It’s no secret that kids today are facing health, learning and behavior challenges at epidemic levels and the role of healthy eating is often overlooked when addressing these concerns for children.  The foods we eat affects how we think, feel and behave. This workshop will focus on moving away from the Standard American Diet (SAD) toward more healthful alternatives to promote good health, behavior and learning for our kids.   The session will also include some ideas for lunchbox-makeovers that provide kid-friendly, healthy alternatives followed by a walking tour through our store.
