People hate shopping for needed items.  In order to get those groceries in people go to the store unprepared and with a sense of dread.  They have no clue what they want to eat, what they have on hand, what's on sale, and usually no clue hot to cook a variety of items so they end up buying and fixing the same things over and over, which does not allow for new experiences or wide nutritional variety.

In Laurel County 97% of participants in the Nutrition Education Program meetings showed positive change in food resource management.  The participants began looking at sale papers, planning menus, making and sticking to a grocery list, and checking to see what they already have on hand.  In so doing, participants afforded healthier options, had an easier time at the store, actually spent less money, had less food waste, and felt less dread and confusion about going out.  This expanded their openness to trying and cooking different foods as well; 100% of the participants increased their red and orange vegetable intake.
