School Nutrition: Food for Thought

For AEA Purchasing's Food program staff, school nutrition is more than just food on a cafeteria plate. We look at all angles of the operation and work hard to educate the public on the importance of a well-rounded program that meets the economic and dietary needs of every child.

In this research-based article on nutrition programs, we highlight the positive impact school food programs have on childhood obesity rates as well as the need for consistent standards across all federal nutrition programs.

If you have questions related to the article or would like to start a conversation with our staff regarding your school's nutrition program, reach out to Meg Brink, Food Program Consultant, at megan@aeapurchasing.org

We'd love to hear from you.
