As this event was being organized, literally one school, one library being recruited at a time, we began to seek out guest readers and we are pleased to announce that RI Governor Chaffee, Dr. Fine, Director of the RI Dept. of Health, Warwick Mayor Avedisian, Central Falls Mayor Diossa, Woonsocket Mayor Fontaine, Cranston Mayor Fung, Pawtucket Mayor Grebien, North Providence Mayor Lombardi, Johnston Mayor Polisena, and Providence Mayor Tavares, will be spanning out across the state to read to young children. Other readers are Eva Marie Mancuso, Chair of RI Board of Education, NBC10’s Molly O’Brien, State Capitol TV Host Dave Barber, Chief Medical Officer Renee Rulin, M.D. of UnitedHealthcare, and Rep. Frank Ferri (Warwick), parents, faculty and others. Nine corporate sponsors are also joining to provide support, including books, educational materials, and healthy snacks. These are, Blue Cross Blue Shield of RI, Champion Juicers, Dr. Day Care, East Side Marketplace, Sodexo, UnitedHealthcare United Natural Foods (UNFI), Walgreens, and Whole Foods Market. The Boys & Girls Club of East Providence is providing administrative support.
Today children are faced with a deluge of junk food choices the moment they step away from their doors. Nutrition and what children eat are inextricably tied to their well-being. The perilous effects of obesity will continue to plague our children if we do not muster up the courage to stand for change; It is imperative that we begin to reeducate our children on the ABC’s of optimal nutrition and the benefits of nutrient-dense foods so that our young people can flourish and develop into healthy adults.
By modeling healthy behaviors for our children, we can reverse the mindless eating trends that have now become commonplace and acceptable in our country. I believe we can empower our children by educating them, inspiring them, and exposing them to how good ‘good food’ can taste. The theme for Nutrition Month is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” – but I raise the more serious question “do we have the courage to stop this?” The smallest state in the country is leading the way this March, and by the outpouring of support, we have stood up and said, yes, we have the courage. We can set a lasting example for the entire country – beginning here, beginning now.

As a country England is definitely getting bigger. During the 1960’s and 1970’s pupils that attended class during those periods in the UK will probably all recall the one obese child in the class? In fact most will tell you there one often just one fat kid in the entire school. Today around 25% of children in every class are probably weighing too much than is suggested as a healthy weight.
