Kids Eat in Color provides evidence-based strategies and information on child nutrition and feeding. In addition to courses and community resources, they also have a popular social media community to amplify their efforts. With over 2 million Instagram followers, Jennifer Anderson, Kids Eat in Color founder and registered dietitian, is an authoritative resource in helping families from first bite of solid food through elementary-aged nutrition needs.“It’s well-known that establishing healthful eating patterns at an early age defines consumers’ habits into their adulthoods,” said CEO of IFPA and The Foundation Cathy Burns. “While we are faced with mounting economic and human costs of diet-related disease, it’s also known that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is one of the simplest ways to ensure physical well-being. We are committed to supporting the many pathways to grow produce consumption and are thrilled to partner with Jennifer’s team at Kids Eat in Color, who are doing incredible work helping families establish healthy habits around eating fresh fruits and vegetables.”
As part of its White House Conference commitments, IFPA has also created educational materials on Produce Prescriptions for medical students, practitioners and patients and, with The Foundation, has created a K-12 school breakfast resource that features fruit- and veggie-forward recipes to help school foodservice operators implement USDA’s proposed meal pattern updates.
