US students receive less than 8 hours of required nutrition education each school year, far below the 40-50 hours needed to affect behavior change (CDC, 2023)

Adequate nutrition and activity are necessary for brain development, learning, and mental health; currently, 1 out of 6 children under 8 years old has a mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder (CDC, 2023)

Students who attend physical education tend to have better grades, school attendance, cognitive performance, and are 2-3 times more likely to be active outside of school and twice as likely to be healthy active adults (CDC, 2022)

Over half of all Americans have a chronic disease that can be prevented with healthy lifestyle habits, nutrition & physical activity (CDC, 2023)
