Fun at the Farmers Market with the Fitness DAWGS

By Addie Briggs, MD, Kim Evans, Ed.D and C.J. Love

Foo Foo likes to eat junk food, so the Fitness DAWGS share with him their favorite foods and teach him about the different categories of fruits and vegetables, including berries, tropical fruits, leafy greens, and root vegetables. 

Fun at the Farmers Market with the Fitness DAWGS is designed to educate children and encourage them to eat different types of fruits and vegetables. The Fitness DAWGS introduce children to exciting new fruits and vegetables to try, such as gooseberries, yuca, bok choy, and star fruit, while they explain the nutritional value of fresh produce and the proper daily serving size they should try to eat. 

With colorful illustrations and a focus on personal health, Fun at the Farmers Market with the Fitness DAWGS emphasizes the importance of increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables children consume to prevent medical issues related to obesity, such as diabetes.
