Care2Eat: Lessons for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating

Care2Eat: Lessons for a Lifetime of Healthy Eating is a unit of study that engages students in grades 7-12 to be more aware of – and perhaps care more about:

The foods served and sold around them, especially in school
The way decisions and changes are made regarding their food environments
Social and civic issues related to food and eating
Steps they can take to be more actively involved in food choices and in changing their food environments

Care2Eat begs the question: “Why isn’t healthy eating more the norm in my school community?”
