Per USDA's website article: “School nutrition professionals and partners are the experts on feeding children nutritious and delicious meals, and we’re thrilled to provide them with a learning laboratory to share proven strategies and take them back to their communities,” said Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Cindy Long. “This summit is one of the many ways the Department is delivering on its commitment to improve the quality of the meals served to children every school day and set kids up to thrive early in life and beyond.” Long added that K–12 schools serve nutritious breakfasts and lunches to about 30 million children every school day."
Mandy felt that the trip was very worthwhile and will add to her 20+ years of knowledge in school nutrition.
