Anti-Sugary Milk Campaign: Foodie Jamie Oliver’s campaign to combat childhood obesity has put chocolate and strawberry milk in its crosshairs. Chocolate milk has the same amount of sugar as a soft drink, and excess sugar increases a child’s obesity and Type 2 diabetes risk significantly. Oliver is asking schools to promote plain, white milk in his campaign at Jamie’s Food Revolution.

Camp Champs: This camp, provided by the Parkland Health & Hospital System, provides a series of four “healthy kid” sessions for 7-16 year old students and their parents or guardians at no cost. The camps are held at various locations around the city. Contact Jeff Howard at 214.266.0203 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
