Nutrition forms the base for childhood learning and health, and can provide strong threads in the fabric that knits families and communities together.
Poor nutrition decreases the ability of children to benefit from their education. It inhibits working memory, attention, the ability to set goals or correctly evaluate options and prioritize. At CBN, we believe that nutritious food is key to a healthy childhood and a productive adulthood.
Campaign Mission Our
mission is to improve the nutrition children receive through public programs
and at home so they can learn more, be healthier and better achieve their
goals.
We are accomplishing this by educating legislators, parents and the general public on the importance of nutritious food in protecting the health of our children and our nation as well as on improvements needed in the public system through which food is made available to people with low incomes. We are raising awareness on food security and social justice issues in the lunchroom as well as in the dining room.
