family time

Dear Parents and Educators:

Studies show that America’s hectic lifestyles have resulted in families spending less time together at mealtime.  Many nutritional experts agree that children’s eating habits are suffering as a result, and this is adding to the growing childhood obesity crisis.

campaignsThe National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association and its member companies recognize and embrace the efforts to create healthier lifestyles for children of all ages and their families. We want to help in bringing families together more often at mealtime – and our frozen and refrigerated products can play a big role in making that a manageable reality.  

The information contained in the Cool Food for Kids Cafe has been developed with the goals to:  

  • Encourage responsible, balanced food choices
  • Exercise appropriate portion control
  • Increase physical activity in everyday daily life
  • and to have some fun!

Be sure to check out our kid-family-friendly recipes, our games and puzzles (easy to download and print for children), our ideas for family-fun activities and more.
