| Impact Report | Adult Nutrition The Extension Home Economist conducted monthly nutrition classes for adult populations in Torrance County. The participants attended 2 hour sessions where they received information on understanding the mypyramid, MyPlate, kitchen safety and sanitation, food safety, safe food handling, nutritious after school snacks, meal planning, creating a grocery list, and navigating a grocery store and healthy holiday foods. The participants took part in quiz games to enhance their understanding of the information being delivered. The participants were also involved in hands on cooking activities where they learned how to make and cook nutritious meals and snacks. The participants said this information will be useful when they are preparing meals and snacks for children as well as adults. “I have learned how to make a grocery list and stick to it when I go to the store, it helps me manage my money a little bit better”, expressed a participant. A total of 45 adults attended the monthly classes throughout the year. |
