There is no single cause for childhood obesity and no single solution. That is why the Alliance for a Healthier Generation approaches the issue from multiple directions, including brokering voluntary agreements with leaders in the food, beverage, fitness, and healthcare industries to create better access to healthier foods and beverages, physical activity and healthcare benefits for children across the country.

We believe that we need multi-faceted solutions and diverse partners to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic–even unlikely partners. Though we welcome everyone to the table, we won’t accept funds from entities with which we are negotiating solutions. Currently, that list includes the beverage, food, and health insurance industries.
