Healthy Catering (Energize Your Meetings)
Everyone has been to an event where they can hardly keep their eyes open after lunch. If you are planning an event, by offering access to healthy foods and physical activity you will:
- help attendees get the most out of the event
- support their overall health
- help reduce their risk for chronic disease and obesity
- model healthy behaviors
Energize Your Meetings is an easy-to-use program that creates a common understanding of "healthy" between meeting planners and catering companies. Washington State Department of Health developed this program based on the latest nutrition science, feedback from administrative staff, and guidance from caterers throughout Washington. The Energize Your Meetings Guidelines rate the nutrition status of food at meetings from one to five stars - with five being the most nutritious.
