The bill updates nutritional education requirements in schools and mandates a nutrition education component for health education credits.

  • Wis. Stat. § 118.01 (2) (d) 2. b.

    Knowledge of the true and comparative vitamin content of food and food and health values of dairy products and their importance for the human diet; → Knowledge of the true and comparative vitamin content of food and food and health values of dairy products and their importance for the human diet; and nutritive value of foods, as outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a publication of the federal departments of health and human services and agriculture, and knowledge of the role of a nutritious diet in promoting health, preventing chronic disease, and maintaining a healthy weight.

    This change expands the existing requirement for nutrition education to include knowledge of the role of nutritious diets alongside the vitamin content of foods.

  • Wis. Stat. § 118.33 (1) (a) 2.

    To satisfy the requirement under this subdivision, a course must include a nutrition education component based upon the state's model academic standards for nutrition or other generally accepted standards of nutrition education.

    This addition ensures that health education credits now require the inclusion of a nutrition education component.
