Dear_________,

In my class today I learned that just by eating more fruits and vegetables I can be stronger and healthier. I also learned that there are many different fun, tasty, and exciting fruits and veggies from which to choose.

Scientists have found that eating 5-9 servings a day promotes better health and helps prevent disease, yet half of all children eat less than one serving of fruit a day, rather than the recommended 5-9 daily servings.

I need to eat more fruits and veggies, and I need your help in trying more of the foods that will help me become stronger and healthier.
