We all know the importance of raising healthy children. We also know that parents can’t do it alone. That’s why we at America’s beverage companies are proud to announce we’re taking a major step to help.
Working together with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation – a joint initiative of the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation – we’ve developed new School Beverage Guidelines, which you’ll see in many schools starting this fall.
Under these new guidelines, students will have a broad range of lower-calorie, nutritious, smaller-portion beverage choices – low-fat milk, 100% juice, and bottled water in elementary and middle schools with the addition of diet sodas, sports drinks and low calorie teas in high schools.
It’s all part of a broader effort to teach children the importance of a balanced diet and exercise. By working together with parents, teachers, government and health professionals, we hope to help America’s current and future schoolchildren grow up healthier than ever.
