Learning to Break the Cycle of Chronic Disease

  • Super Me teaches kids that food is not just fuel—it's medicine for a healthier body and mind. It has the power to make you strong or make you sick. The choice is yours.

  • Make learning about nutrition hands-on, fun, and part of the daily routine.

  • Link food education to reading, math, geography and science for full learning impact.

  • Provide caregivers with tools to join the learning.

  • Word games, puzzles, art projects, riddles and jokes make learning fun—while exploring gardens, plants, shapes and colors through fruits and veggies.

  • Families learn tricks to cut back on added sugar, saturated fats and processed foods and switching to yummy fresh food substitutes.

  • Super Me characters talk about making healthy daily choices, turning colorful foods into artful, exciting mornings.

    Liittle Sis says,

    “Our family starts every day with a glass of water and a great breakfast to fuel our metabolism, mind and body.

    This morning, I am cooking eggs. My brother puts out healthy beans, chopped vegetables and milk for strong bones. Working together, it only takes a few minutes to get everything ready.

    Looking at all the beautiful edible modern art on our table makes me smile. I know the pretty crunchy colors full of protein, vitamins, amino acids and minerals help keep us healthier and smarter. We sit together, laughing, chatting, eating yummy, crunchy, GR8 food. I think this is the best way to start the day.

    We make Happy Healthy Heart breakfasts and lunches that cost less than a can of soda.

    A little silly dancing gets our hearts pumping and causes a whole lot of laughing.”

  • Engage kids in the whole meal prep process — from kitchen safety to washing, measuring, cooking and trying new foods.

  • Kids are encouraged to learn to look up recipes, plan menus, pick ingredients, look up the cost on line, stretch food $ and work within a food budget.

  • Super Me Families: Build social skills and healthy habits by cooking, eating, talking, and sharing meals together.

  • Grow plants indoors, explore community gardens, and take virtual farm trips via QR codes—discover lobster fishing in Maine, salmon fishing in Alaska, and seaweed harvesting in Washington. Then travel the globe to explore banana farming in Central America, wild rice harvesting in Minnesota, saffron fields in Iran, noodle making in Japan and shrimp farming in an L.A. warehouse—all while bringing geography to life.

  • We break this down in kid-friendly ways—so healthy habits stick.

  • Provide caregivers with QR code links, tips, tricks and tools to join in and support the learning. The adults learn, too.
