Agencies

Today in class we each presented our assigned nutrition related agency. I learned about a lot of programs that I have never heard of previously. My specific agency was the Summer Food Service Program which is used when children are on summer vacation and they cannot access the free school lunch or snack programs. It was interesting to hear about everyone's project. I am definitely going to print out everyone's worksheet so that I will have a reference in the future. I was also surprised to hear that Canada does not have any of these programs, even though they have free health care. We spend billions of dollars in the US to develop these various programs which is great.
