The Campaign to Make Delaware’s Kids the Healthiest in the Nation is a multimedia statewide childhood obesity prevention effort that promotes the 5-2-1-Almost None lifestyle. This formula encourages kids and adults to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, limit screen time to no more than two hours a day, get at least one hour of physical activity each day, and drink almost no sugar-sweetened beverages like sodas and sports drinks.
