A new nutrition education program is helping kids battle obesity. "An online game might be the secret weapon

called "Color My Pyramid" to teach students how
to evaluate their dietary intake and activity level.
The program incorporates the Department of
Agriculture's MyPyramid.gov for Kids Blast-Off
Game, an interactive computer game that allows
kids to win by fueling their rocket with nutritious
foods and a healthy level of physical activity."
