Campaign for Better Health

Dear friends of A Campaign for Better Health:

A Campaign for Better Health stands for advancing the message of eating 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day for better health. Now more than ever, this message proves vital to the youth of our nation. Given that the prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescence has almost tripled in the past 20 years and diet-related diseases as adult-onset diabetes is now showing up in children, poor eating habits are unnecessarily raping our kids of normal childhoods.

The challenge ahead is critical. America’s obesity epidemic shortens lives because it places these individuals at higher risk for nutrition-related diseases like cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. Each day, fruits and vegetables jockey for attention against competing food advertising so prolific everything else is just a drop in the bucket. We need your support to help us level the playing field. If you have not made a gift to A Campaign for Better Health, please consider making one now. Every gift is important to the work of the Foundation and its mission.



Elizabeth Pivonka, PhD, RD
President, Produce for Better Health Foundation
