Beef: A Healthy Option

In this lesson, students will use role playing and research to describe why zinc, iron, and protein (ZIP) and vitamin B12 are important to healthy living.

California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom partnered with California Beef Council to create professional video clips featuring elementary through high school students preparing recipes to educate students, teachers, and the public about beef, its nutritional value, and its proper handling and preparation. The student-developed recipes use easy techniques and readily available ingredients.
