Lots of kids want to keep healthy by eating well. Here’s something kids can do to eat healthily: Learn the difference between Go, Slow and Whoa foods.

Go foods

These foods are good to eat almost anytime. They are the healthiest ones. Examples: tofu, water, fresh fruits (apples, oranges, bananas, etc.) and fresh vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, etc.).
