In case you have not seen it, there is a wonderful video by Dr. Bob Murray promoting school meals on the SNA website: www.schoolnutrition.org/PEDIATRICIAN The three accompanying handouts are available on SNA:
-
- School Meals are Healthy Meals: Reviews the nutritional quality of school meals using the healthy eating index (HEI)
- School Breakfast Matters: Highlights the importance of breakfast and the tie to academic performance & brain function
- School Nutrition is a Crucial Component of the Whole Child Approach to Education: Connecting school meals to the whole child approach
The video is about 15 minutes long with lots of good data and slides. It may be something to show to School Boards, administrators, wellness teams, staff, PTO/PTA, Back to School events, etc.
The OSNA Industry Committee is announcing special ad rates and a new mailing program in light of the current coronavirus crisis. Visit our Annual Directory page for more info!
Last week there was a video out there made by Food Corp and Sweetgreen that showed school meals in a negative light. The video has since been removed from the interwebs.
