NUTRITION
ABOUT NUTRITION
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 Report describes a healthy diet as one that:
- Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products;
- Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and
- Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
The amount of food from each food group that each person needs to eat to maintain a healthy lifestyle is dependent on their age, sex and physical activity level - one size doesn’t fit all. If you have questions about your diet, consider meeting with a registered dietician at Student Health Service. You can make an appointment at Student Health Service by calling (414) 288-7184.

MARKET BASKET PROGRAM
Students for an Environmentally Active Campus (SEAC) run a weekly Market Basket Program that allows Marquete students, faculty, and staff to order fruit and vegetable baskets from a local, urban agricultural center, called Growing Power.
There are several baskets to choose from:
- $8 Senior Basket (feeds 1-2 people for a week)
- $14 Regular Basket (feeds 2-4 people for a week)
- $14 All-fruit Basket (feeds 2-4 people for a week)
- $26 Organic Basket (feeds 2-4 people for a week)
If you would like to order a basket, email your order to marketbaskets@gmail.com by noon on Tuesdays. Pick-up will be between
2:30-5:00 p.m. on Fridays (of the same week you placed your order), outside of the Office of Student Development on the first floor of the AMU. Payment (cash or check) is due when you pick up your basket.
