Setting the Table: Discussing Childhood Obesity in Philadelphia
Tuesday, October 16, 6-8 pm, registration required

Sit down to a city-wide dinner to discuss Philadelphia’s ongoing efforts to cure childhood obesity. Leaders from the Philadelphia School District, The Food Trust, the Center for Obesity Research and Education, and the Vetri Foundation for Children will be leading this discussion that will take place at The View on the top floor of People for People on 800 North Broad Street. 

The Vetri Foundation for Children works to reverse this trend by helping kids experience the connection between healthy eating and healthy living. Eatiquette, the Vetri Method for school lunch, aims to transform a child's lunch from the traditional cafeteria assembly line to an environment where children gather around round tables, pass plates of food to one another, and experience social interaction and communication.

Seating is extremely limited and reservations for this dinner are required.
