Jeannie Cobb – ESL Teacher, Overfelt Adult Education - May, 2009 

My beginning ESL class was fortunate enough to have you talk to them about Nutrition. Not only did the class learn a lot, but I did as well. At first, I made a change each week that you came and spoke on healthy foods and lifestyle.... I feel better, and my family is now becoming addicted to fruits and vegetables thanks to you.

Independent Adult Center - January, 2009

This semester we are very fortunate to have the opportunity to attend the nutrition presentations. My students and I all benefited so much from the presentations.

Now when I go to the supermarket, I always look at the nutrition facts before I buy food. I want to make sure that I buy a variety of vegetables and fruits for my family. My husband also recognizes the importance of eating plenty of vegetables and fruits. Now we have a balanced and nutritious diet every day.

I walk my dog three or four times a week now. I would like to walk the dog every day. It will be good for both of us to walk 30 minutes a day.... 

I seldom eat any fast food now. The nutrition educator told us that is fattening for us even though it is convenient. I eat food low in fat, salt and sugar. I also drink more water now. I limit my intake of caffeine and drink less soda. I learned that we eat smart and be active, we will have a healthy life. I truly appreciate your presentations!

Thanks again for the 5 sessions on money management and nutrition. They were terrific and I expressed that on the evaluation sheets that were required to turn in. 

Our class loved your presentations. Money management and nutrition literacy are key to everyone’s life. As long as I teach there, I will continue to request your presentations.

Aprendimos demasiado y todo fue util, ya que hicimos muchos cambios positivos en nuestra alimentacion.

Ahora reviso las etiquetas de los alimentos antes de comprarlos ya no dejo que se descongele la carne a temperature ambiente.
