This fall, as part of the “Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetables” curriculum, FCHS Nutrition Educators are teaching nutrition classes in Spanish at The Children’s Home Society Family Success Center South in Trenton. In the 90-minute class, ten participants learn about nutrition and physical activity. In one popular class, everyone does the Cardio Pyramid together. Participants learn about new foods they have never eaten or even heard of, such as dates, cannellini beans, or brownies made with black beans! While the FCHS Nutrition Educator prepares a healthy snack or meal for everyone to try, participants ask questions and take pictures of ingredients. Everyone takes home a small incentive item such as a colander, a mug, or a set of measuring cups and spoons. With each lively discussion and fun class activity, participants are one step closer to their health goals!
