The
National Institutes of Health's We Can! (Ways to
Enhance Children's Activity &Nutrition)
program has partnered with Subway
Restaurants to provide
families advice and tools to help both parents and
children achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
The partnership was launched yesterday at a
National P.E.P. (Play More, Eat Right, and Push
Away the Screen) Rally in Washington, D.C.
Subway
will promote the We Can! message and materials in
restaurants and on their website - SubwayKids.com.
In addition, Subway will provide funding
for We Can! training programs in communities to
help them implement We Can!'s hands-on curriculum
for kids and for parents.
