Special Program In Nutrition

Gladstone's renown dietary education program for teachers, kids and parents.

SPIN

SPIN is a unique three-volume nutrition and heart disease prevention
curriculum for use in elementary schools. The second edition, that contains
more than 1,000 pages of current information, is now available. The Program
also includes a family education component and a cookbook, with some
ethnic recipes.

SPIN was developed by the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular
Disease, a biomedical research institute affiliated with the University
of California, San Francisco, and is located at the San Francisco General
Hospital.

Volume I
Parental component--often missing in other health and nutrition curricula--provides
continuity with what is being taught in the classroom and practiced at home.

Volume II
Teacher's manual contains complete lesson plans, background information,
worksheets, supplementary material, and clever cartoon characters.

Cookbook
Low fat, low cholesterol recipes, charts, other useful information
for modifying eating patterns, plus instruction for children to help them
develop skills in healthful food selection.

All this for only $35.00 (includes postage and handling!)

(California residents please add 8.5% sales tax)
