Oldham County is rated as being one of the healthiest in the state. Vegetarian cooking emerged from a survey of residents interest. The FCS Agent presentation explained the health advantages and possible problems in following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Several economical recipes were demonstrated and offered for sampling. Results from written surveys at the conclusion of the program indicated that all participants had a greater understanding of vegetarian diets. Several participants planned to serve at least one vegetarian meal a week. Ten participants indicated that they could save ten or more dollars a week with their food budget if they prepared one or more vegetarian meals.
