The 110 Mexico City public schools participating in the SaludArte program to fight obesity and promote healthy eating must start urban gardens, the head of the capital's government, Miguel Angel Mancera, said.
Mancera made the announcement during Cocinando, an event at city hall aimed at fighting childhood obesity, telling participants that the goal was to have SaludArte expand its role in providing proper nutrition to children.
