Why 5210?

Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. Today’s children are at a higher risk than ever for health problems and life limitations.

Bad eating habits, too much television and computer time, minimal physical activity and sugary drinks are becoming the norm.

To help combat this trend, the San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative has adapted 5210 Every Day!, a nationally recognized, evidence-based messaging campaign to encourage healthy eating and active living.
So where do YOU come in?
