Welcome to our fresh new way to have fun!
Hi! My name is Meagan and I have been working on The Healthy Kid Project since 2018.
My care for the environment and desire to bring individual action to addressing the imbalance in our planet is what keeps me motivated on the problems we face.
I believe it is in our food choices, that we can have the greatest impact and that drives me to continue my work in educating kids and their families on what they can do.
Our Mission
The Healthy Kid Project is an educational program that introduces the concept of a plant-rich diet to kids age 3 - 8 and is meant to serve as a call to action for others. A call to eat healthfully, both for our children and our planet. The organization has two goals:
Reduce our carbon footprint - Adapting to a plant-rich diet would be the 4th most impactful thing humans can do in reducing carbon emissions and building a greener future.
Reduce the rate of childhood obesity - Plant-rich diets reduce future risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer. These diseases account for $1 Trillion in annual healthcare costs and lost productivity.
Our six-week learning program, intended for children ages 3-8, is available on Mighty Networks with video content hosted on YouTube.
While our focus began on bringing curiosity to wholesome and fresh local foods, daily physical activity and getting enough water are also important pieces to our wellbeing and as such, we learn about them as well.
Our daily choices in what we consume and how we consume it brings an interesting opportunity to us. By not only reducing food waste and choosing better methods by which we dispose of our food, we can have an even greater impact on reducing our carbon footprint.
I hope you will consider joining our community and taking action in a way that empowers you and your kids to live a healthier life.
