He discussed his new program, Fresh Start, that encourages children to track their food intake and physical activity over the next eight weeks and send them to his program.
Children who take part in the challenge will receive a free sandwich just for entering, then will be put into a drawing to win a Subway-sponsored party or potentially a $1,000 grant from the Jared Fogle Foundation.
Details can be found at schools throughout the Upstate.
