Nutrition Matters Inc. -  est.1997

Our nutrition education materials are being used in WIC Programs, Head Start Programs, Day Care Centers, Elementary Schools, Cooperative Extension Programs and Community Action Agencies throughout the United States. 

We incorporate the ChooseMyPlate concepts, 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the VENA concepts (Value Enchance Nutrition Assessment initiative jointly developed by FNS and NWA) in our nutrition education cards.

Our materials can be used to individualize nutrition education for clients by providing examples of achievable goals along with a variety of meal and snack ideas, mealtime parenting and physical activity ideas. 

The readability level of our nutrition education cards and newsletters is between fourth to sixth grade (Flesch-Kincaid) or fifth to eighth grade (SMOG).
