Imagine a family who is in need of food. They have a few food items at home, but it is not enough to make complete meals for the next few days. With finances stretched thin, a trip to the grocery store is out of the question.

A 2015 study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 34 percent of all kids between the ages of 2 and 19 ate fast food on any given day. Parents are faced with a multi-billion dollar advertising industry working to pack more junk into our kids just to make a profit. As a result, kids are less familiar with the very types of foods that are most healthy for them, like fruits and veggies.
