There are so many people who influence the nutritional choices children make today—parents, teachers, principals, health professionals, and many more.
To help parents and schools promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle for students, the American Beverage Association and America’s leading beverage companies have teamed up with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation—a joint initiative of the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation—to create the national School Beverage Guidelines. Recognizing the unique educational setting of schools, the Guidelines remove full-calorie sodas from schools and provide smaller-portion, lower-calorie and nutritious beverage choices.
The leading beverage companies have been working hard to do their part to help implement the Guidelines. But we need your help.
