Fast Food Consumption

Author: Anita Jones

Planning Unit: Carter County CES

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Fast food is something that is not always the healthiest food choice.  The Carter County Nutrition Education Program Assistant Senior taught 7 lessons from the Healthy Choices for Every Body Curriculum to each of the participants enrolled in the program.  When participants enter the program and complete Entry papers 44% said they cook dinner at home.  After the 7 lessons, and the exit papers, 56% now say they are preparing dinner at home more times a week.  That is 12% change in how many days a week they are cooking meals and be healthier at home rather than have unhealthy fast food.
