You have been asked to join the School Health Advisory Council to develop a new policy that focuses on the development of a more sustainable food service. List the steps you would take to develop and implement the new policy. How would you involve staff, families, and children? 
 Communicate with families to list out their children’s favorite food items and eating habits. Such as allergy items and if any family requests that no milk or milk-based substitute be given to their children. Also families' dietary restrictions due to religious beliefs, personal beliefs, cultural customs and health issues.
Based on those pieces of information, develop the food-from-home policy. Restrict all allergy items to school. Meeting with all staff involves, such as teachers, kitchen staff, nutrition professionals and parents who are interested, to have a planning menu together. 
For children, we can ask about their favorite foods and talk about healthy choices to get prepared for them to enjoy the new food items. Through activities and discussions to help them experience the richness of all cultures through diversity in food and food customs. Practice emerging independence by using child-sized containers and utensils, allowing preschoolers to set tables, pour beverages, serve themselves and clear their places.
