Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The SNAP-Ed Assistant in Knott County partners with the school system every year and goes in to the classrooms throughout the county. In doing so the assistant meets lots of kids that has not tried different foods.
This past year the assistant went into a kindergarten class where the majority had not tried the food she had prepared that day. Most of the kids looked at in disgust. One little girl in particular seemed intrigued by it. She was shy but I seen her take a nibble of it. She seemed to like it and before I knew it she had eaten it all and was asking for more. She looked up at me and said this is really good!!
This goes to show that looks is always not what you think. It may not look the best in the world but it is worth a try!!
