Yesterday at the Arkansas Farm Bureau Women’s Conference in Little Rock, Donette Stump from the Arkansas Beef Council presented a beef workshop. She gave us great ideas to present to children and adults about beef. If you are needing an activity for a classroom or 4-H club, you can make snack packs using foods from the food groups and teach about nutrition and beef at the same time. Ingredients we put in each bag were: cheerios,goldkist fish crackers,gummy bears and beef jerkey. You can be creative and make up your own ingredient list. Donette did admit she forgot the M & M’s–not sure what food group those belong to but all the ladies said we would just make one for chocolate!
