According to kentuckyhealthfacts.org thirty-eight percent of the adults reported in Nelson County are considered in the obese category compared to the thirty-seven percent for the State of Kentucky. In August of 2021 the Bullitt County Extension Office partnered with Isaiah House to offer the Healthy Choices for Everybody series. Fifty-nine participants have attended and graduated the classes from August 2021 till September 2022. Classes included tips for physical activity, My Plate, Food Safety, Breakfast, Budgeting, how to read Nutrition Labels, Know the Limits on Fats, Sugars and Salt.

At the end of one of the classes a participant made the remark that they had never thought about how many soft drinks they drank in one day instead of water. The participant then remarked that they were going to make an effort to drink more water, less soft drinks to help to combat weight gain.

According to beginning and ending comparison data from a national reporting system, 58% of participants drink regular soda less often.
