In an effort to promote healthy eating habits, Flik has stepped up its fight against the national obesity epidemic by creating a wellness regimen, called Balanced Choices, that teaches students how to EAT, LEARN, and LIVE well.

Eating well this school year will include trans fat free cooking oil and margarine as well as whole grain bread and rolls among other healthy foods.  Balanced Choices will teach students to compose a healthy meal from a wide variety of foods and will highlight healthy snacks and beverages according to precise nutrition parameters. 

“Learning well requires not only a well nourished child,” says Keith Cullinan, president of Chartwells (Flik's parent company), “but also requires knowledge of nutrition and the benefits of an active life.  To help every child to succeed, Chartwells will donate a unique and comprehensive nutrition and physical activity classroom curriculum, HealthSmart, to each Chartwells school district across the country.”

Living well for students brings it all together to create a healthy school environment where the student can practice a new healthy approach towards eating and living. Chartwells will contribute to the local school district with healthy fund raising programs, healthy classroom celebration menus, Nutritionist visits, and active learning programs such as health fairs, food demos, and kitchen tours, all with a healthy edge.
