Happy Food Day!

Happy Food Day! At a time when childhood obesity is reaching epidemic proportions, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood invites us to observe Food Day. Let's celebrating the power and possibility of food as we work to create a healthy food culture for our children.  

1. From potlucks to film screenings to special farmers' markets, there are thousands of Food Day events around the country today.  Visit foodday.org to find an event near you.

2. Cook with your kids!  Check out these great Food Day recipes: http://foodday.org/why-eat-real/recipes.php

3. Take a stand for children.  Join our friends at Corporate Accountability International in telling McDonald’s to stop junk food marketing to kids.

4. Tell Congress to support the Eat Real Agenda, a six-point plan to fix America’s broken food system including ending junk food marketing to children. You can read the entire agenda and send a message to Congress by visiting Moms Rising’s website.
