Survey for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation finds most parents willing to help schools improve food offerings and increase physical activity.
In fact, vast majority of parents want schools to limit students’ access to high-calorie chips, sodas and candy and to offer them opportunities for physical activity throughout the day, a new survey by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation shows.
The national survey, indicates that nearly eight in 10 parents are ready to get more involved to create a healthier environment in their local schools.
Further, the survey showed that 96 percent of parents believe that physical activity can boost their children’s classroom performance, and virtually all parents (99 percent) recognize that healthy eating also has a positive effect on learning.
