Comparative ratings of printed nutrition materials developed by industry and government producers
Abstract:
The question of the appropriateness of using materials developed by industry in the nation's classrooms has been raised by educators for many years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of supplemental, printed nutrition materials developed by the food industry, food industry associations, and government agencies for the classroom. The quality of the materials was rated by three rater types: (1) classroom teachers; (2) curriculum specialists; and (3) nutrition specialists. Because the ratings were so varied, it was not possible to make a recommendation as to the overall appropriateness of using sponsored materials in the classroom. Some materials were rated very high; others were not so well reviewed. Educators need to review each item for its quality and appropriateness.
