FORT BENNING, Ga., (June 8, 2016) -- Did you know that the dining facilities at Fort Benning have launched the rebranded Go for Green(r) program? The revised G4G program makes it easier for service members to identify and choose performance-boosting foods in military dining facilities. Research, including military-based interventions demonstrates that labeling foods and beverages can help consumers make better food choices.
The Go for Green(r) 2015 was developed by a committee of nutritionists and food-service professionals who considered nutrient requirements affected by extreme physical activity and environments. Go for Green(r) is in line with current military policies and standards.
Nutrition components such as fiber, added sugar, degree of processing, type and amount of fat, overall wholesomeness, and nutritional quality are now considered when assigning a color code.
Look out for these labels at your dining facilities to help you identify the foods that support optimal physical and mental performance.
