Forty-eight American child nutrition professionals and academics contribute 23 chapters and 21 case studies to a text on the administration, nutrition, operations, and communications and marketing facets of child nutrition programs. The text assumes prior basic knowledge of food service operations, and management, and is designed for school nutrition professionals at the state and district levels; school administrators; university professors and graduate students in dietetics or hospitality management programs, and public policy development; and dietitians and food service managers considering school nutrition programs as a new career direction. The second edition has been updated throughout to reflect changes in legislation and current issues in school nutrition programs, including the school's responsibility to reduce student obesity, school board policy and the sale of non-nutritious foods, and the need to balance healthy eating with physical activity.
