| Impact Report | The Home Economist provided four nutrition and food safety programs for 22 individuals at The Counseling Center (an organization which provides mental health services to children, adults, and families in Alamogordo). The program topics included reading food labels, The USDA Food Guidance System, hand hygiene and food safety practices when grilling. Completed evaluations indicated that individuals learned how to read food labels to evaluate the nutrition value of foods; how the ingredient list of a food label tells us what is in a food; how to eat a variety of foods from the food groups each day for good health; how to choose moderate food portion sizes; why physical activity is important for maintaining a healthy body; how to properly marinate foods to be grilled in the refrigerator; and how to use a food thermometer. |
