Stop & Shop is proving its commitment to healthy living in 2012 with programs and choices that focus on kids health and happiness. On January 24th, Stop & Shop is hosting a Child Obesity Forum at their Whalley Avenue location in New Haven, Connecticut. The panel consists of experts who will focus on health issues that affect youth in America. Stop & Shop, in a partnership with Field Trip Factory for Kid Healthy Ideas™, helps kids from pre-K through sixth grade develop and improve skills that will allow them a healthy lifestyle. The company has also brought its healthy philosophy to the web with its Passport to Nutrition program which supports kids, parents and teachers with information about how to live a wholesome life. Also, until March 28, 2012, parents can also help earn triple A+ School Rewards for local schools by purchasing Healthy Ideas® labeled products. The Stop & Shop exclusive label and shelf tag system can be utilized to discover healthy food options as they cruise the aisles. Arlene Putterman, Manager of Public and Community Relations for Stop & Shop's New York Metro Division, states, "With increasing rates of childhood obesity in this country, Stop & Shop provides kids with fun and interactive ways to learn about proper nutrition and health."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">www.stopandshop.com<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
