Success StoryHealthy Eating Practices with Alpha Delta Kappa Organization



Healthy Eating Practices with Alpha Delta Kappa Organization

Author: Jessica Hunley

Planning Unit: Madison County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Plan of Work: Develop and Strengthen Leadership and Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

This program came about as I was invited to speak and attend a monthly meeting for the Alpha Delta Kappa Organization.  This group is specific to women educators in Kentucky, both past and present, who focus on leadership and altruism.  They wanted to hone in on healthy eating skills as well as become more familiar with Extension and our education programs as well.

I spent one evening with 30 of their members, where we engaged in conversation and a lesson about healthy eating.  I used the Mastering Food Choices powerpoint presentation to guide the discussion where we took a closer look at our personal eating habits and our food environments.  This lesson discussed food environments, factors to food choices, how food choices can impact our health, reading nutrition labels, understanding fats/ sodium/ sugars/ and how they effect us, finding healthy eating alternatives when eating out at restaurants, finding accountability, and assessing the ingredients in our own recipes.

The participants received a copy of several supplements publications that correspond to the lesson as well last year and this years Calendar of recipes.  They sampled the Tuscan Chicken Pasta and the Apple Spinach Salad.
