nutrition education material websites

16 Mar '15

Hi all, Does anyone have a comprehensive list of reputable websites that contain free, downloadable nutrition education materials for children ranging from preschool to high school ages? I can compile a few sources and have some that I use myself but was looking for a somewhat exhaustive list if one exists. Thanks for your help, Amy Mobley ********************************* Amy R.

Using Regionally Grown Grains and Pulses in School Meals
by Chris McCullum 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Dear SNEEZEers: A new publication by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) that may be of interest. See below URL for more information. Chris McCullum-Gomez Using Regionally Grown Grains and Pulses in School Meals http://www.iatp.org/documents/using-regionally-grown-grains-and-pulses-in-s… Excerpt: Best Practices for using regionally grown grains and legumes in school meals. Healthy, regionally grown grains and legumes are a growing part of Farm to School. Our six case studies on the introduction of locally grown grains and pulses feature school districts, food vendors and partners in communities ranging from: Portland, Ore.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Ithaca, N.Y.; Hopkins, Minn.; Fairbanks, Alaska and Kalispell, Mont. Their forays into locally grown grains and pulses have included lentils, barley, dry beans, tofu and wheatberries, among others. The Upper Midwest Regional Learning Lab, operated by School Food FOCUS, also catalyzed seven large, urban Midwestern districts to explore the opportunities and challenges of sourcing regionally grown grains and legumes on a larger scale. While each district’s experience is unique (and we invite you to review the individual case studies to learn more), some common themes emerged about what helped or hindered their efforts. To help you consider where locally or regionally grown grains and pulses might fit for your district, here are some best practices that emerged from their experience.

Re: [Sneeze_l] [Fnspec] [WM DPG] AND gives a CHEESE product it's seal of approval!!!!

If all foods can fit, the next thing we know the AND seal will be on bags of potato chips. I've worked at being a thorn in AND's side, but I'm getting tired of getting nowhere. Money talks, and they aren't getting any more of mine! The only regret is not being able to join the California Dietetic Association. I am a Past-President.
