What is New York Doing about Obesity?

1. Promotion of statewide TV turnoff weeks to all public and private schools in the state and other community-based organizations to encourage students to limit the amount of time they spend watching television.
2. Fifteen Eat Well, Play Hard community projects create environmental, policy and practice changes to increase healthy eating and physical activity in communities.
3. The Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP) implements policies to ensure that healthy foods, such as fresh produce, low-fat milk and whole grains, are available through the emergency food relief network.
