| Impact Report | EDC Childhood obesity The number one concern today is childhood obesity and diabetes. At one time only adults were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, today more youth are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and it’s time to change that. Child day care providers need help in preparing healthy meals and snack and teaching the children to take the message home. Two-hour nutrition training was provided by the home economist. Care givers learned that sometimes we as adults serve children way to much food on their plate we do not allow them to ask for more if they are hungry. We also allow them to eat too much junk food so they are less likely to say yes to fruit and vegetables. After going over the reason why so many Americans are overweight participants shared their ideas on how to change the way Americans eat. One of the activities provided 6 scenarios, four people per group (6 groups) they had to find ways to change the eating habits of their mock family. Most of the groups came up with very creative ways of teaching healthy eating habits, they included exercise, eating a designated times, eating meals together, etc. Much knowledge was gained. Evaluation was provided by the EDC Coordinator and later mailed to the home economist. |
