The Step ONE Kids!

Hamilton County’s Step ONE initiative is proud to announce new allies in the effort to create a healthier community. Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey has reminded people to Eat Smart and Just Move It over the past two years. Now in the effort to combat childhood obesity Step ONE is proud to introduce “The Step ONE Kids.” These animated characters are designed to promote improved nutrition and increased activity amongst Hamilton County’s children.

Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department Administrator Becky Barnes says, “This is a super summer where people are lining up to see super characters. The Iron Man movie is a multi-million dollar hit and with an Incredible Hulk and new Batman film on the way, we thought we had a super opportunity to catch children’s attention. That’s why we created a pair of super partners, our Step ONE Kids, to encourage children to practice better nutritional habits and engage in more physical activity.”

Eat Smart who is nicknamed “Smart,” wants everyone to do so by eating at least five fruit and vegetable servings every day. His partner in the battle for a healthy lifestyle “Just Move It” who likes to be called “Move,” wants everyone to do something active or “Just Move it!”

In a smart move, the Step ONE Kids have teamed up to battle inactivity and poor nutrition. But the Step One Kids need some help in knowing what powers to use in their battle for good health. That is why this summer, “Move” and “Smart” are asking children to help empower them.
