The L.A.U.N.C.H. Opportunity

The L.A.U.N.C.H. program features a team of three loveable characters from outer space, who have come to Earth seeking knowledge on healthy eating, active living and self-esteem. These characters are an integral part of the L.A.U.N.C.H. program as they work together to help students succeed in their missions to eat well, be active and feel good about themselves.

Developed by Registered Dietitians and based on USDA's MyPyramid, the L.A.U.N.C.H. initiative is routed in Kellogg Company's commitment to support children's healthy growth and development.
