Nutritional Information

Nutrition is very important and we want to make sure that students have all the facts they need to make healthy choices.

We recommend looking at the following sites for nutritional information:

• My Food Pyramid: "The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, an organization of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was established in 1994 to improve the nutrition and well-being of Americans."
• Teen Health: "TeenHealth was created to help teens, parents, and adults working with teens find reliable health information on the Internet. If you want an answer to a personal question or you need a quick fact for a school assignment you've come to the right place. TeenHealth allows you to link to web pages that address a variety of health issues from a range of perspectives. These pages were selected and evaluated by a Youth Services librarian. Some of the pages were created by teens working with health professionals."
• Eat Right: "The American Dietetic Association is the public's and news media's best source for the most accurate, credible and timely food and nutrition information. ADA's volunteer media spokespeople are resources for expert commentary, story ideas and background on the full range of food and nutrition topics."
• WIC Nutrition Program: "WIC offers families personalized nutrition consultations, tips for eating well to improve health, and medical referrals."
• Project Bread - FoodSource: "You may be eligible for Food Stamps, even if you own your home, are working or have a car. Find out more information at the Project Bread site."
