Success StoryKnowing your Limits



Knowing your Limits

Author: Marcia Moss

Planning Unit: Bullitt County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Bullitt County Extension Office and the Mount Washington Branch of the Bullitt County Public Library partnered to bring Healthy Choices for Everybody./Nutrition 101 to the branch.

One of the lessons presented was Know your Limits. Using test tubes with fat, sugar, salt and a power point the class was given a visual of the amounts that are in our every day foods.

The week after presenting Know your Limits one of the woman came up and said that after hearing and seeing how much salt, fat and sugar was in some of our foods she has made an effort to read labels and watch her intake of certain foods and drinks. Others in the class also remarked that had been an eye opener

At graduation one hundred percent had improved in diet quality.
