First Focus

To grow up healthy, children need access to nutritious foods as well as opportunities to be physically active. In fact, sufficient nutrition and physical fitness are essential for children to lead healthy, productive lives. Providing these opportunities to every American child ensures each has a chance to grow up healthy. First Focus supports federal policies that encourage healthy behaviors, including those that ensure the availability of nutritious foods in schools and in other settings. The links between nutrition and health are unquestionable, making this issue an imperative for First Focus.
