My Pyramid for Kids

MyPyramid for Kids provides age-appropriate information about the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the MyPyramid Food Guidance System released earlier this year. The new MyPyramid for Kids symbol represents the recommended proportion of food from each food group and focuses on the importance of making smart food choices every day. Daily physical activity is prominent in MyPyramid for Kids. Through an interactive game, lesson plans, colorful posters and flyers, worksheets, and valuable tips for families, MyPyramid for Kids encourages children, teachers, and parents to work together to make healthier food choices and be active every day.

Together at the Table

Do you ever feel like your schedule is too full? Too many commitments, not enough time for you and your family to be together? If so, you are in good company. We work long hours to have nice things to enjoy and then never have time to enjoy them.

We drive through the nearest fast-food restaurant to get some quick bite to eat because we are too tired to cook. Our families are paying the price. Childhood obesity is considered an epidemic that is upon us. Our kids are graduating from high school and we didn't get the chance often enough to just sit with them awhile and talk.

 

We want to bring families and friends back together at the dinner table. Talking, laughing, sharing...making memories. Protecting our emotional and physical health.

Problem is, if we get everyone back together, then what? What do we cook to be conscious of time and nutrition? The art of cooking is becoming a lost art.

Together at the Table is our way of beginning to find solutions for busy people. We will show viewers how to cook healthy meals in almost no time. We'll heighten awareness of the problems of childhood obesity and how you can help your kids make better choices.

 

Together at the Table airs on Wednesdays at Noon and Sunday mornings on KWTV, Channel 9 News in Oklahoma City.  To learn more about Together at the Table, click on the image below.
