Texas WIC Looks to the Future
s I write this, WIC participants throughout
Texas are purchasing fresh and frozen fruits
and vegetables, whole grain products, baby
food, low-fat milk and maybe even tofu
and soymilk. More than that, they are using
these healthy additions to the new food
packages to nourish their children. You put
so much time and effort toward educating
our participants about these changes and
now, they are reaping the benefits. This is
something you should all be very proud of.
I know I am.
One thing you can always count on with
WIC, we never rest too long on our accom-
plishments. We are always looking to the
future and embracing new possibilities.
This issue is a preview of what's next!Client-Centered Nutrition Education

education can make your classroom
education efforts more relevant and

lives for years to come. Texas

highest standards for nutri-
tion education. See the article

As we look to the future and the challenges
and opportunities that are to come, keep

success is the health and success of our
participants.exas
