Here's what people are saying about Food Friends:

“I attended the parent meeting at my daughter’s preschool, and I’m excited to say that she has tried three new foods! I used the techniques you suggested and was so much more relaxed about meal time.”
Colorado Parent

“Food Friends is a developmentally- and age-appropriate nutrition program for preschoolers. No wonder kids love it. Learning about trying new foods in such a fun environment can have positive, long-term impacts on the way children think about food. What a great way to shape their eating habits.”
Susan Johnson
Associate Professor, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center

“Food Friends is a great nutrition program because it has proven to change behavior. In addition to Head Start, we have worked with Colorado State University to expand the program to our preschools and family day care homes. They love it!”
Lynne Torpy
Nutrition Coordinator, Colorado Child and Adult Care Food Program
