What is BrightBites?

BrightBites is a website provides credible nutrition information and curriculum resources for educators and supports school communities to improve their school food environments.  

The world of nutrition is constantly evolving, and it can be difficult to find trustworthy information. Educators can browse BrightBites for credible information, tips for teaching nutrition in a positive way, and grade-specific curriculum support.

Improving the school food environment can be challenging — BrightBites breaks this challenge down into fun and easy activities (The Bites). The more activities completed, the more a school will make positive changes to its food environment, which can in turn improve the well-being of everyone!

BrightBites is written and maintained by Registered Dietitians from Ontario Dietitians in Public Health (ODPH).  ODPH is funded by memberships fees and project specific contributions from local public health agencies in Ontario.
