Healthy foods aren’t always easy to find, sometimes you are stuck with a Jack In The Box, or McDonalds. There aren’t that many healthy choices at fast food restaurants, but sometimes you have no other choice. If you do have to eat fast food, that’s okay! Fast food restaurants are coming up with healthier choices, for example, salads and yogurt parfaits, and apple slices. But some of the old foods can be somewhat healthy, like a hamburger with just ketchup is fine, but when you start adding sauces and cheese, and double patties, it can get pretty bad…… Eating healthy isn’t always easy, but if you balance your meals, you can make it easier.

I am Natalie, I am 12, and I am on the Youth Advisory Board for the Alliance For a Healthier Generation The Alliance is a joint effort of the Clinton Foundation, and the American Heart Association.
1 in 3 kids are obese in America – 25 million. That is WAY too many. If things don’t change, this could be the first generation of children who may not outlive their parents. The Alliance’s goal is to stop the rise in childhood obesity by 2010 – 2 years from now, and to reverse the trend by 2015 – 7 years from now.
The Alliance for a Healthier Generation works in 4 different areas: School, Industry, Health Care, and The Kid’s Movement, which I am involved in!
In this blog, I will keep you updated on my activities and Alliance events. I will also provide tips on how to start living a healthier lifestyle one step at a time.
