Milwaukee-area program teaching kids to eat healthier at a young age

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Many people make the pledge to eat healthier as their New Year's resolution, but how about making preparations to start the habit even earlier than that?

A group of Milwaukee-area students is learning how to do just that.

Food Right is a local nonprofit that organizes classes for students in Milwaukee schools aiming to promote healthier eating choices at a young age. Founder Lisa Kingery joined us on Monday, Dec. 19 along with a local fifth grader to share some of the recipes that the program teaches in school.
