Nutrition Detectives

Drs. David and Catherine Katz are pleased to share their Nutrition Detectives program.

NUTRITION DETECTIVES® "Teaching Kids to Make Healthy Choices"

Nutrition Detectives is an exciting nutrition education program for elementary school children that is "Teaching Kids to Make Healthy Choices." They learn how to read food labels, detect marketing deceptions while simultaneously learning to identify and subsequently choose healthy foods. The program has been taught in schools throughout the country and data are currently being collected in Independence Missouri. There is opportunity to disseminate the program using a 'train-the-trainer' model, in which high school students are trained to teach younger students. The program is novel, creative, engaging, and efficient, imparting crucial information in minimal time.
