Food Group Display
The dataset provides information on total calories, calories from “extras” (solid fats and added sugars), and MyPyramid food groups for over 1,000 commonly eaten foods. Innovative and creative tools and games are being sought that use the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) dataset to deliver nutrition and health concepts in a fun and engaging way, which is part of the former First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign.

Description
The Apps for Healthy Kids competition is a part of First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign to end childhood obesity within a generation. Apps for Healthy Kids challenges software developers, game designers, students, and other innovators to develop fun and engaging software tools and games that drive children, especially “tweens” (ages 9-12) – directly or through their parents – to eat better and be more physically active.
Childhood obesity or excess weight threatens the healthy future of one-third of American children. Approximately $150 billion is spent every year to treat obesity-related conditions, and that number is growing. Obesity rates tripled in the past 30 years, a trend that means, for the first time in history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents. Tools and games should be built using the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrition dataset recently made available to the public through the Open Government Initiative.
