Help Stop Childhood Obesity
- Childhood overweight rates have doubled
- Childhood Obesity rates have tripled in 20 years
- 1 in 6 of our 3rd-graders is overweight
"We are facing the first generation of adults who will see their children die
of chronic diseases before they do"
World Health Organization, 2001
Helping to stop Childhood Obesity in their local communities, these leading natural and organic food retailers, have formed a partnership with Food For All, a non-profit organization that provides self-help solutions to end hunger
During the back-to-school period the above stores are
asking their customers to donate to support local
elementary schools with implementation of the
GoZonkers program
GoZonkers™ is At-desk, Exercise Fun
- It gets Kids physically active daily – in-school – at home
- Fun 8-9 minute, high-energy, audio story adventures
- Kids exercise vigorously at-desk along with the stories
Stories include curriculum-based nutrition information
Why Daily, Vigorous Exercise?
Because the #1 preventive measure to attack Childhood Obesity is exercise yet, over 50% of our Kids get less than 5 minutes/day
Because of the generous customer donations facilitated by the above community-based retailers, the GoZonkers program is given FREE to local elementary schools nationwide
For most Kids, GoZonkers doubles the amount of daily exercise
