NYC Healthy Kids' Meals -- We did it!
On Thursday, March 28th, the NYC Council passed the Healthy Kids' Meal bill which requires all NYC restaurants that offer a children’s menu to make a healthy beverage option – like water, seltzer, or low-fat milk – the default option that comes with the meal.

We can make NYC streets safer for active lifestyles
Safer streets lead to a healthier New York City. Active transportation -- biking, walking, or rolling to work, school, or around the community -- is an easy and convenient way to increase physical activity.

NYC: Let's keep nicotine away from our kids!
Nicotine is a harsh and exceptionally addictive substance. In order to mask nicotine's taste, tobacco companies commonly add flavoring to both cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

Keep NYC kids active once summer is over!
Summer is a great time to be a kid. The weather is warm, and daylight lasts longer so there’s a lot of opportunity to run around outside and be active. When they go back to school, it’s not as easy to get daily exercise. That’s why effective physical education is so important.
