“Awesome Choice Combo”   Menu 

The “Awesome Choice Combo Menu” is an idea that began within the Metro-Nashville Public Schools Food Service Department as a way to address the issue of obesity that is a nation wide epidemic among our children and to offer food choices that will allow them to improve their personal health.

The traditional School Lunch and Breakfast Programs are programs that provide in many situations the most nutritious meals that a student consumes all day.  These programs are designed to meet both nutritionally and calorically the needs of the average child.  Breakfast provides ¼ of the RDA and lunch provides 1/3 the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) .

Personal responsibility is key to optimum health.  The real deal is that students as well as adults need to recognize the importance of making good food choices and maintain healthy eating habits, to achieve optimum physical health. 

 The decision to make healthy choices needs to be a joint effort between the individual, family, school and community to educate and encourage making healthier choices and being physical active.

”Awesome Choice Combo” menu is provided for all students in Metro-Nashville Public Schools as an additional option to the traditional lunch choices.  Keep in mind that “one size fits all” is not always true.  We need available options.
 
”Awesome Choices Combo” menu is a way to help our students to become aware of the importance of implementing positive changes that affect their future optimum overall health.
