| Impact Report | Several general nutrition, food preparation and food safety workshops were given throughout Lea County, during 2008. The programs were delivered to local civic organizations, extension homemaker clubs, and the general public. The participants in each of the programs reported the following information, through a post evaluation survey: *Those attending the hand washing program, reported they would be using regular soap and warm water to keep germs away rather than using an antibacterial soap or the hand sanitizers. *Those attending the food safety programs, reported they would begin thawing out foods in the refrigerator, rather than the countertop or hot water methods; begin washing fruits and vegetables better; a food thermometer would be used to heat foods (especially meat) to the correct temperature, rather than estimating. *Those attending a general nutrition program, reported they would begin trying to eat a variety of foods in their diet, rather than the same "old comfort foods" and food labels would become a part of their grocery store reading. Other reported that they would begin using smaller portion sizes when eating at home or out. |
