According to the Centers for Disease Control, in Kentucky almost half of all children (44.6%) report eating fruit less than one time daily, with 42.7% of adolescents reported consuming vegetables less than one time daily. Working to address the diet quality of youth in Fayette County the Nutrition Education Program assistant teamed up with Mary Todd Elementary providing lessons on healthy eating. Using the LEAP (Literacy, Eating, and Activity for Preschoolers) curriculum children were introduced to healthy eating concepts through 12 lessons that included healthy food samples and nutrition based activities. The students were evaluated at the beginning and the end of the sessions using a national data reporting system. Upon exit over half of the students (51%) increased their recognition of vegetables. 70% of the participants increased their ability to identify healthy snacks, and out of 54 students, 89% improved their reported diet quality overall.
