IDers United is an innovative, collaborative, and creative instructional design team that birthed in the Instructional Systems Technology graduate program at Indiana University. The Chewing on Macros project was an instructional design endeavor that was spawned by a course assignment in the EdD program. The IDers United team

chose this topic due to the importance of

the topic and the lack of engaging nutritional curriculum in the middle grades. In addition, the lack of quality nutrition options in lower socioeconomic communities within New York City creates a culture of nutrition deficiencies. Therefore, an integrative nutritional curriculum was designed for easy classroom use by teachers and students.
