Reviews for this Online Course
- I learned a lot from this course, I like how if explained the different types of food groups. Posted by Brittany on 10th Apr 2014
During this course I learned how important the food Pyramid is in a human bodies food intake. I also learned food portions for young children. One thing that will stick with me when teaching young children that is trying new foods is to identify and group foods, make sample meals or snacks, and how to choose an appropriate variety of food will help set the foundation for eating properly throughout their lives. - Thank you very much for the whole course Posted by Katie on 28th Feb 2014
