Healthy Eating at Meetings Guidelines

Ohio State University Extension promotes healthy lifestyles, including healthy food choices and regular physical activity, through our statewide programming efforts. As such, we recognize the importance of modeling our commitment to healthy lifestyles by striving to create a healthy work environment. Due to the strong relationship between diet and health and the increasing rates of overweight and obese people, we are committing to health by supporting healthy food choices at work. Therefore, employees shall select healthy, low-fat and low-calorie food and beverage options for all Ohio State University Extension meetings. By working together and striving to follow the recommendations outlined in the Selecting Healthy Food for Meetings fact sheet, we will promote better health and help reduce risks for chronic diseases. The intention of these guidelines is not to dictate what individual staff members eat or bring into the office for special occasions. Rather, these guidelines are intended to assist OSU Extension employees in making healthy food and beverage choices purchased with OSU Extension resources for all in-services, meetings, trainings, conferences, events, etc.
