@CPSteeleCounty WOW! Butter make everything taste better. A welcome treat for those served by CPS.

@SecVilsack @TeamNutrition @USDA Let's not forget the millions of children in day care programs receiving healthy meals through CACFP, a lesser known but vital USDA Child Nutrition Program. @NationalCACFP

@TimEischens Wat to go Tim!

@CDCgov This is what happens when you don't treat the animals well at your plants. So much severe neglect and abuse from Tyson. I stopped years ago eating their products and many other places. Horrid!

Covid forced many programs to review sites virtually for the first time using digital records. This session will help prepare food program operators and sponsors for a digital audit. @WildwoodCACFP @NationalCACFP

@NationalCACFP Were excited for our very own @MsMaureenlyons to share this session with everyone at #ncnc2021

This chart is SO helpful when cooking or determining CACFP serving sizes for production records. Thanks HBA!

Did you know that child care providers can claim infant meals when breast milk is provided by parents? CACFP promotes & encourages breastfeeding in child care homes and centers. @NationalCACFP #childnutrition #NationalBreastfeedingMonth #BreastIsBest

The New Meal Patterns for CACFP are similar to Smart Snacks in School. Great reminder to #FuelUp with healthy foods. @NationalCACFP @ObesityConf @WildwoodCACFP #nutrition #eathealthy

[McKenna Keener @MckennaKeener]

Snacks are NOT treats. The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requires USDA to establish #nutrition standards for all foods sold in schools, such as in the vending machines & at a la cart during lunch. The snacks are healthier with fewer empty calories. #cofcfit @fit2Bsmart

Actually got a response from @redlobster after sharing my frustration about their reward program. I'll be sure to let the public know how it turns out.

[Red Lobster @redlobster]

@MsMaureenlyons We're sorry to hear this, Maureen and our team would like to learn more. Would you please DM us?

[Maureen Lyons @MsMaureenlyons]

@redlobster Thanks for reaching out. I've sent a DM and am happy to share the details of my experience with your team to help improve the rewards program moving forward.

[Maureen Lyons @MsMaureenlyons]

Reward #FAIL by @redlobster Went to enjoy FREE dessert reward with dinner, which expires today, only to find it is no longer available to use on the day it expires. WHAT?!$ Management said they can do nothing about it. #poorcustomerservice #nodessert
