Teaching kids and adults about MyPyramid and healthy eating can sometimes be a chore. It's hard to get kids and adults to focus on healthy eating when there are so many distractions in their day-to-day lives.

For this reason, School FoodserviceXpress has developed teaching products to help people in the foodservice industry to communicate what the food pyramid is all about and why knowing what it has to say is so important for weight loss and healthy eating habits.

Here are three products we developed to help foodservice professionals get their important healthy eating messages across to either adults or children:

1.       MyPyramid Promotional Kit ' This kit offers creative ways to promote healthy eating using the USDA guidelines as exemplified by the MyPyramid posters. This kit includes a guidebook and CD of the tools and templates in the kit. It also has 7 posters and 6 mini-counter cards sets, handouts, clings, bookmarks and stickers making it a complete kit for the foodservice professional.

2.       MyPyramid Bulletin Board Kit ' People actively pay attention to bulletin boards as they are so widely used as a group communication tool. And a colorful bulletin board gets even more attention. This professional looking kit is sized for a 3'x4' bulletin board but can be used on almost any size board.

3.       MyPyramid Static Clings ' A simple, inexpensive tool for sneeze guards and yet it is a great way to keep both kids and adults focused on what is healthy eating while they are walking through the salad or serving line.

Using these tools and the many others at School FoodserviceXpress can be a time and money saver as they are already prepared and simply need to be put in place to begin making a difference with your students or adults.
