Some kids are exposed to unhealthy foods and drinks at school and on TV.

We need to create increased access to and education about fresh fruit and vegetables.

That’s why, for National Nutrition Month in March, we’re inviting YOU to use #SaludTues and tweet your favorite recipes and tools, and learn cool ways to “Veg Out”!
