Planning Unit: Knott County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
In Kentucky the Center for Disease Control shows our state as 30-35% obesity. Twenty-six limited resource families participated in a program about eating healthier desserts.
The Nutrition Education Program Assistant prepared and served a Banana Pudding made using healthier ingredients, such as skim milk, low fat pudding and low fat cookies. Evaluation showed that 96% liked the flavor and taste of the pudding. Based on taste 73% of the participants could not tell a difference between the low fat pudding and regular pudding. Fifty seven percent planned to make the low fat pudding at home.One participant shared that they were diabetic and this was a good way to still eat what they enjoyed.
