Menu Project
My menu is considered healthy because I used the USDA meal patterns. The USDA meal patterns is approved by the Child Care Commission as the minimum amount of good which can be served to comply with licensing standards for adequate nutrition. I chose the use the USDA meal pattern because I thought it best serves the needs of children in child care programs.
I chose to prepare a menu for preschool children ages 3-5 year olds. I will start with breakfast. A serving of milk is 3/4cup. All milk on my menu is low-fat milk because taking the fat out of milk will protect children from becoming overweight and reduced the risk of heart disease. Breakfast will include a vegetable or fruit. With a serving size being ½ cup. If fruit juice
