Available to Purchase for Grades 3-5
 When a group of about 1,800 third through fifth grade Texas children were asked how many times they ate fast food, 46 percent of them said two or more times per week. These same children also did not understand that low-fat milk is a healthier choice than whole milk. These are just a few of the results the Texas Department of Agriculture and The Cooper Institute released from a statewide pilot program called NutriGram, a fun and interactive nutrition education program for elementary students. The valuable information collected from NutriGram reaffirmed the importance of healthy eating education among Texas children. Find out more about NutriGram: Watch Video | Visit NutriGram.org |
