Weight for it


We hear so much about childhood obesity that it’s almost become background noise. But listen we must: Nearly one-third of U.S. children are overweight or obese, with children of color and those in low-income families disproportionately aff ected. One in four young adults are too heavy for military service, a legitimate national security concern. To put the cookie on the lowest shelf: We’re failing our children and our future.

In “Slim Chance” (page 28), Delicious Living managing editor Jenna Blumenfeld highlights people across the country who are creatively and tangibly improving children’s health. “When a whole community gets involved, the collective infl uence can authentically shift how kids think about and eat food,” she concludes. I think the operative word is “collective”—we need to work


together. One model: FoodCorps (foodcorps.org), a national nonprofi t that recruits and trains emerging leaders to work under the direction of local school-food-improvement groups, à la Peace Corps’ year of service. “T ere are organizations already working in all 50 states, bringing measurable improvement to school food,” says cofounder Curt Ellis. “We just need to give them boots and help them do more—a troop surge for school food.” Right now FoodCorps receives more applicants than it can place, a great indicator of the next generation’s passion for fi xing our broken food systems. We still have a long way to go, of course. Want to get


involved? Partner with your natural products retailer to host store tours for kids, showing them what healthy food looks and tastes like. Get your hands dirty in a school garden. Donate to groups that are making a diff erence. And share on our Facebook page what’s working in your home or neighborhood.
