Keeping Kids from Falling Short, a CD educational package, was developed to assist school food service in helping children increase their daily whole grain intake. The goal of the three-hour training is to teach school food service how to identify whole grain foods, prepare recipes, and incorporate them into school k-12 menus in appealing ways. The training empowers school food service staff to think beyond tight time constraints and tight budgets.
