Outcome: Initial Outcome
In 2011-2014, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated 6 in 10 youth (63%) and 5 in 10 adults (49%) drank a sugar-sweetened beverage on any given day. On average, U.S. youth consume 143 calories from sugar-sweetened beverages and U.S. adults consume 145 calories from sugar-sweetened beverages on any given day. The Menifee County SNAP-ED Assistant partnered with the Project Worth Food Pantry to present seven Healthy Choices for Every Body Lessons. The audience consisted of families with member’s ages ranging from 23-63 years old, after completing at least seven lessons, the participants understood the importance of drinking less sugar sweetened beverages. One of the participants stated she is drinking more water and less soda now that she realizes how much sugar is in soda.
