Alliance for a Healthier Generation's Parent Attitudinal Survey
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation has issued the results (10 pages, PDF) of a recent survey which found that the vast majority of parents want their children's schools to limit students' access to high-calorie chips, sodas, and candy as well as offer kids opportunities for physical activity throughout the day. Conducted by KRC Research, the survey found that more than 92 percent of parents said they consider physical education and health education as important as English, math, and science instruction, while virtually all parents (99 percent) said they recognize that healthy eating has a positive effect on learning.
