Andrews DECA promotes healthy eating for children
Karen Hawkins, Defense Commissary Agency dietician, hands out tooth picks to parents and several of their children from Child Development Center I to sample various fruit and vegetable trays set up at the commissary Nov. 18. In observance of first lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign, the DECA is taking a community approach in the fight against childhood obesity by educating children about proper healthy snacks and portion control during meal time. The event also aimed at offering the children healthier food choices and introducing them to an exercise regimen. A Pentagon Channel film crew was on hand to document the event for later use in a training video to be used in all DECA commissaries. (U.S. Air Force photo/Bobby Jones)
