It's challenging enough to teach nutrition when there are so many competing topics. Finding resources that are engaging and based on credible nutrition science should be easy. Join us for a virtual tour by representatives of two federal agencies, USDA and HHS, who will offer an overview of nutrition tools and resources available on their websites. These lesson plans, activities and workshops are organized by different education levels and can be useful for individuals and communities to make healthy food and physical activity choices.
