For Educators

We are currently not shipping nutrition education programs for K – 12 classrooms until the start of the next school year. In the meantime, feel free to use our additional resources found in the downloadable education handouts section. Handouts are available on various topics such as eating a healthy breakfast and packing a healthy school lunch. Our newest handout is Calcium and Kids — Why is Calcium so Important for Children.

The interactive learning tools provide kids and teens a fun and engaging way to learn how to eat right and get enough physical activity. Check out the newly revised TeenBEAT — Basic Exercise and Activity Tracker.

For Health Care Professionals

Client education programs are available free-of-charge to California health professionals and at reasonable rates for health professionals outside California. These nutrition education materials have been field tested for success and are available in both English and Spanish.

Additional resources include free downloadable education handouts on topics such as vitamin D, bone health and probiotics as well as interactive learning tools for children and adults.

Milk & Dairy

This section includes a wide range of information about milk and dairy foods, including nutrients in milk, dairy facts, milk myths and dietary requirements. The Calcium quiz can help you determine if you are getting adequate calcium in your diet and the milk handling page will answer questions such as "can I freeze milk?"
