August: Kids Eat Right Month - Academy encourages to "Shop Smart, Cook Healthy and Eat Right"!

Created in 2014, August is Kids Eat Right Month, a national educational and action campaign promoted by Kids Eat Right (KER) from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Coincidence or not, in some countries of the world like Argentina, Uruguay, Perú and Paraguay, Children´s Day is recognized the second Sunday of August to honor children. What a great idea to celebrate this month with healthy nutrition and active lifestyles for children and families, offering simple steps to help families cook healthy, eat right and shop smart. In the US and other countries is back to school time, so it´s a perfect opportunity to ensure proper child nutrition and development. The Academy has developed very neat information resources to share with family, schools, community leaders and dietitians. We all have a role in ensuring a healthy future for our children.
