Oil absorption in fried foods   Message List

true cost of food

Hi All, I work for EFNEP/SCNEP (food stamp education program) in the state of Virginia.  We are  going to start a project about the "true cost" of food.  We would like to show (and give them a skill) them that their are healthy and affordable food choices. 

One of the things that we battle with is that a lot of our participants see that "junk food/empty calorie food" is cheaper then nutrient dense foods.  We would like to create a program or an activity that shows them that nutrient dense foods, although may be a little bit more expensive in the beginning, will be more cost beneficial in the long run.  For example, provide nutrients, make/keep full, preventive health benefits, etc.

I understand all of the hurdles that come along with this.  This email is for brainstorming and to see if anyone else out there has or is creating something along these same lines.

Thank you, Stephanie
