Healthy Choices for Everybody was conducted at the Bourbon County Senior Citizens Center by the Nutrition Education Program Assistant.

The topics focused on food safety, planning healthy and affordable meals, reading food labels, making better beverage choices, and eating more fruits and vegetables with a focus on MyPlate.
100% of those who completed showed improvement in one or more diet quality indicators. Also, 100% showed improvement in one or more physical activity behaviors and one or more food safety practices. One participant commented “I love all the recipes we have gotten to taste. I have been able to save money at the grocery store because now I know that I already like these food items.”
