Kelly Jarvis owns Wholesome Tummies of York County, Pa.

It’s no secret that America is facing a growing obesity epidemic. It’s not just a problem for adults, either – more and more kids are overweight or obese and face countless health problems. That’s where Wholesome Tummies comes in. The kids’ food franchise supplies local schools with nutritious meals that actually taste good, meaning kids want to eat them.

The company is expanding across the country, and just opened a new location in York County, Penn. Franchisee Kelly Jarvis joined Wholesome Tummies because she’s passionate about healthy living – with a son of her own, age 4, she knows it’s essential to get kids excited about eating well right from the start. She plans to start serving healthy lunches to schools in the area beginning in August for the 2013-14 school year.
