EXPANDED FOOD AND NUTRITION PROGRAM ASSISTANT
PERRY COUNTY KY
The Perry County Cooperative Extension Service Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program assistant along with a private community partner held a series of nutrition lessons from the Healthy Choices for Every Body curriculum. Classes were held weekly with four participants finishing the series of classes.
Most participants indicated the lesson on food safety was filled with surprising information. The group as a whole mainly thawed food at room temperature as they had been taught in their homes. One participant stated she suffered from frequent bouts of intestinal problems and after learning proper methods of thawing food, stated that her “stomach issues” had completely improved. This participant stated she believed her improvement was due to changing the way she thawed food as she no longer defrosted food at room temperature.
The reporting system showed that 75% of the participants in this group thaw frozen food at room temperature less often.
