Power of Food for Healthy Families

The goal of Food for Life: Kids Health (FFL Kids) program is to focus on highlighting the positives of good foods (whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables) rather than the negatives of less favorable foods (meat, dairy products, and other animal products). This is done to avoid potentially negative reaction/ controversy from parents/venues who may be hearing this information for the first time and will not have had the benefit of hearing the full in-depth, research-based explanation that is available in the adult Food for Life (FFL) classes. Children are exposed to the great taste and health benefits of eating a plant-based diet through kid-friendly recipes approved by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s (the Physicians Committee) staff of dietitians. The curriculum aims to empower children with the knowledge and skills they need to establish healthful habits to carry them well into adulthood with a fun and tasty experience.
