Unveiling Food Foundations
In the dynamic world of education, it’s important for educators to find innovative tools and resources that can make nutrition teaching more effective, engaging, and FUN! Recognizing this need, Reimagine Nutrition Education is introducing Food Foundations, a nutrition teaching tool tailored specifically for students from grade 7 to 12 to support dietary choices and lifestyles.

What’s Inside the Food Foundations?
1. Relevant and Engaging Materials: The Food Foundations package comes bundled with three main components – Nutrient Content Graphs, Food Foundations the Basics, and Building on Food Foundations. Each item is thoughtfully crafted, ensuring it complements the others and provides a holistic learning experience for students.
2. Emphasizing Dietary Diversity: Food Foundations emphasizes a critical aspect of nutrition - the significance of a diverse diet. It connects with Canada’s Food Guide and educates students on including a variety of foods in their diets by recognizing every food provides nutrients. Through engaging educational activities and insights, students are encouraged to explore different foods, enriching their dietary habits.
3. Guidance Materials: Integrated into the existing curriculum, this tool is accompanied by guidance materials, ensuring that educators have all the resources they need to leverage the tool effectively.

5. Evidence-Based Data: In the age of misinformation, it’s essential to equip our students with factual and evidence-based knowledge. The Food Foundations is designed by experienced registered dietitians who ensure to use credible and current information.
6. Age-Appropriate Nutrition Knowledge: One of the significant challenges in teaching nutrition to younger students is ensuring the content is age-appropriate. The Food Foundations addresses this challenge, presenting information tailored specifically for the intermediate and high school age group.
