Abstract
One of the most crucial crises of the twenty-first century in the United States is the skyrocketing prevalence of childhood obesity. Because children spend the majority of their time in the school setting, this will be our target location for implementation of a nutrition education program. The first purpose of this class project is to examine the hot and cold lunches served and consumed by the students at Bursley Elementary School in Jenison, Michigan. The second purpose is to provide 5th and 6th grade students with a nutrition education program on how to prepare and choose a nutritious school lunch. We will also be encouraging the children to taste some provided healthy snacks. The overall goal is to provide the children with information that they can utilize to make healthy lifestyle choices to prevent obesity.
