Health has a superhero, and his West Virginia creators hope the furry green critter called Choosy will someday become as recognizable as Smokey Bear, helping prevent childhood obesity as Smokey Bear helps prevent forest fires.
Years in the making, Choosy is now on posters in Head Start offices around the country. He?s got music CDs, including one released last month in Spanish.
At three pediatric clinics in South Carolina?s Greenville Hospital Systems, children see him on a DVD that?s constantly looping on the waiting room television. They see him again in the paper on the exam table. Then a doctor asks, ?Have you been a Choosy kid??
