5 A Day Adventures
Getting the Most From This Program
Teaching students the 5 A Day message is very important. On
average, children eat only 2 1/2 servings of fruits and vegetables
a day - half of what national health authorities recommend for good
health. In fact, an important national health objective is to
increase consumption of fruits and vegetables to at least 5
servings a day among all Americans by the year 2000. You can play
an important role by using this CD-ROM with your children.
Remember, the goal of the program is to encourage children to eat 5
servings of fruits and vegetables a day. 5 A Day Adventures is
more than just an adventure for the home or classroom, it is an
adventure for life.
There is a tremendous amount of learning material in 5 A Day
Adventures. The program has been designed to be flexible. Children
can use it individually, or with family and friends.
For a memorable adventure suggest that your child's teacher take
the class on a 5 A Day supermarket tour. Nationally, thousands of
supermarkets are providing "5 A Day Supermarket Tours" for school
children as part of their "5 A Day for Better Health" program
activities. To arrange a tour for students, the teacher may call
local store managers or produce managers. Tours encourage children
and their parents to adopt 5 A Day habits.
