Who develops your materials? How do I know they are not just pushing milk?
Dairy Council of California nutrition education programs are developed by Dairy Council staff with qualifications in nutrition, research and the education fields. The programs are field tested to ensure success and then are reviewed by external nutrition experts and practitioners to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of the information. The programs are based on the USDA MyPyramid and do not promote milk more than any other food group.

 

Do you evaluate/test your materials? Where can I get copies of your evaluation reports?
All Dairy Council of California nutrition education programs and materials are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure that they work for the end user, promote behavior change, and instill positive lifestyle changes. The evaluation reports are posted on the Website.
