Eat Your Dots

Karla Holt Foodservice Director Vineland Public Schools Vineland, N.J. We opened a new elementary school that was self-service. Those students had never had  self-service so we developed the Eat Your Dots program to help them identify well-balanced meals. Each food component has a colored dot. For example, vegetables are green and milk is blue. Three dots equals a meal that meets child nutrition requirements.
