Cooking for a Change
Author: Kati Noble
Planning Unit: Breathitt County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Initial Outcome
According to 2014 Kentucky Healthcare Profiles for Breathitt County, 39.8% of the adult population in Breathitt County are obese.
Breathitt County SNAP-Ed Assistant, Kati Noble, taught Breathitt County adults the Healthy Choices Curriculum during the program Cooking with Kati. As a part of the class participants learned about healthy food choices, eating better on a budget, and food safety.
Entry and exit forms were used as a method to track participant’s learning and improvements. Behavior change was indicated by comparing each participant’s entry to their exit form. 100% of participants showed a positive increase in consuming, at a regular rate at least one food group.
Because such a high percentage of Breathitt County adults are obese it is important to offer classes, such as Healthy Choices, so that these adults can make a positive change by eating healthier.
