Hello,



Does anyone know how to calculate how much oil is absorbed in deep

fried foods?  Is there a good reference or standard to use?  I am

working with a restaurant and its not feasible for them to add x amount

of oil and drain it after 1 batch to calculate the oil absorption.  Any

help would be appreciated!

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

I know that the EFNEP programs here in Massachusetts have used grocery store circulars to compare the prices of foods for budgeting.  Maybe something similar can be done and the participants could use basic nutrition analysis (like on mypyramid.gov) to decide which foods give you the most nutrition for the dollar?

We are also working on a very similar project here in our office. We are a national non-profit who teaches nutrition, cooking skills, and food budgeting to low-income families. We work closely with the Extension agents in our state as well. We have made a “calendar” of meal plans, one with healthy foods, and another with fast food/convenience foods- and compare the prices with both. It has been a long project, collecting data from all types of grocery stores (and we’re finding every area in Denver differs in food prices greatly!). While we’re not finished yet, we would be willing to share our findings if you’re interested. Contact me directly and I can get you in touch with the staff in our office who are heading the project. Thanks!
