Balancing meal options
We will advocate balancing meal options at all our clients’ sites by 2016.
The World Health Organization (WHO) projects estimates that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese. We know that nutrition is a foundation for health and development, because better nutrition means stronger immune system, less illness and better overall health.
