Weekly Roundup from Bag the Junk

Starting today and continuing weekly every Thursday, we’re going to give you a peek into what’s going on at BagtheJunk.org, NEA HIN’s sister website dedicated to all things healthy school food.

Here’s a round up of two recent blog posts:

• Counting Apples Instead of Cupcakes talks about new voluntary guidelines to encourage education publishers to incorporate more healthy behavior messaging into school textbooks and curriculum resources. In addition, we highlight nine ways that you can incorporate healthy eating and physical activity into your own classroom lessons next year.
• The Art of the Nudge shares how simple changes to the school environment (think putting healthy foods at eye level in the cafeteria) can help make the healthy choice the easiest choice for students.

We hope you enjoy reading our posts, and look forward to seeing you here next Thursday!
