Food and Me
This nutrition program was developed by Scholastic Inc. and the USDA's Team Nutrition. The Goal of Food & Me is to improve the health of children by empowering them to choose a variety of foods, eat more grains, vegetables, and fruits, and construct a diet lower in fat. The materials in the Food & Me kit will help you teach the basics of healthy eating in a meaningful way that engages children and reinforces the message beyond the classroom into children's homes.
