Queensland Kids Fresh Net
Healthy eating habits and active lifestyles mean a bright future for Queensland kids!
The Queensland Kids Fresh Net (QKFN) program was created to help improve approaches to the education and promotion of health and nutrition in primary school children.
The program encourages school children to make healthy eating choices and live active lifestyles and targets children, their parents, teachers and tuckshop conveners. QKFN includes school presentations and market tours, resources and promotions for tuckshops and teachers and website information and activities.
All program elements are absolutely FREE! All schools have to do is to register and they are eligible for all QKFN promotions and resources.
Brisbane Markets Limited developed the program in 2003 with the support of the wholesaler representative organisation Brismark in response to reseach which demonstrated that diet related health problems such as obesity, cancers, high cholesterol and diabetes are increasing in children. QKFN believes if children eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, their chances of avoiding these problems will be greatly increased.
