The Power of Choice: Helping Youth Make Healthy Eating and
Fitness Decisions


CoverThe Power of Choice was developed by HHS' Food and Drug Administration and USDA's Food and Nutrition Service. It is intended for after-school program leaders working with young adolescents. Everything you need to know is in the Leaders' Guide, including most activity materials. It's full of quick, simple things to do with kids; many activities take little or no pre-planning. A CD containing 10 interactive sessions based on six posters. Included in the Leader's Guide are a recipe booklet, parent letter, and Nutrition Facts cards.
