Why implement nutrition standards? December 2007 USDA Policy Memo asked SAs to
be proactive in implementing the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Idaho wanted to set the bar high and encourage schools statewide to meet the most current nutrition recommendations.
Developed and
produced on-line video trainings to
put on website
