The Life Time FoundationSM
The Life Time Foundation is committed to partnering with schools to feed children healthier meals they deserve. The food being served to our kids is often filled with the Harmful 7 ingredients:
- Trans Fats & Hydrogenated Oils
- High-Fructose Corn Syrup
- Hormones & Antibiotics
- Processed & Artificial Sweeteners
- Artificial Colors & Flavors
- Artificial Preservatives
- Bleached Flour
When we remove the Harmful 7, we're left with what's real, whole and good. We help schools remove the Harmful 7 from the food they serve by providing grants, training and education.
"When you eliminate processed and artificial ingredients, you end up with healthy food. All children deserve healthy meals and we shouldn’t settle for anything less."
