Educators

 
Knowing why it is important to eat a diet rich in low-fat dairy, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and how to choose these nutrient-rich foods are skills that will serve each student for a lifetime and may help ward off chronic conditions, such as obesity. Fortunately, nutrition education can easily be incorporated into core subject areas, such as math and science. We have a variety of interesting and fun lesson plans for all ages. These lessons are based on sound nutrition information from the USDA’s MyPyramid and other reputable sources. Best of all, each lesson provides nearly everything you’ll need to teach-from detailed instructions to classroom handouts! Check out our catalog for additional resources!
