Nutrition education: It's a winner!
1979
Zuber, Shelley | Moerchen, Barbara Dommert
A program funded by the Nutrition Education and Training Section of the Child Nutrition Bill teaches basic nutrition skills to elementary and secondary school children. "Big Ideas in Nutrition Education" is promoted in Arkansas and Texas by the Arkansas Department of Education, the Texas Education Agency, and Dairy Council, Inc. (DCI) of San Antonio. Teachers who take part in the program are trained by a DCI nutrition consultant. Food consumption data from a teenage unit showed a marked increase in the number of students who included recommended minimum servings in their daily food selections. Students who were taught "Big Ideas" by DCI trained teachers averaged 86% or better on posttests vs. pretests. The program is implemented in four units: 1) "Little Ideas" or the preschool unit; 2) "Balanced Meals"; 3) "Daily Food Choices"; and 4) "Teenage Nutrition Program".
