Impact Report The Home Economist presented a foods and nutrition program, “Modifying Recipes for Better Health”, to 27 members of the Mayhill Extension Association Club and 11 individuals at The Counseling Center (an organization which provides mental health services to children, adults, and families in Alamogordo). The presentations included a powerpoint presentation, educational handouts, and recipe demonstrations. Evaluation statistics for the presentations indicate that 100% of participants learned how a recipe can be altered by reducing or substituting ingredients, how a recipe can be altered to reduce the amount of fat, how a recipe can be altered to reduce the amount of sugar, how a recipe can be altered to increase the amount of fiber, and how to modify a recipe so it is healthier. 98% of participants learned how a recipe can be altered to reduce the amount of sodium. Other evaluation comments by participants included “very good information and can help a person become more aware about labels to read when buying canned goods”, “very good presentation and information for everyone, but especially for those with health issures”, “Kelly’s oral presentation is easily understood. She speaks precisely and clearly (articulate).”, and “very informative information to live a more healthy lifestyle”.
