Baton Rouge, La. - The SU Ag Center’s Families First-Nutrition
Education and Wellness System Program (FF-NEWS), continues to cultivate
partnerships with inner city social service programs and organizations.
On October 26, 2015, East Baton Rouge & East
Feliciana Parish Nutrition Educator, Marquetta Anderson, educated the
participants at Bishop Ott’s Women’s Shelter on the importance of making better
food choices.
Following the lesson, Mrs. Anderson opened the
floor for questions and a group discussion. The ladies were especially
interested in daily water intake recommendations, reading nutrition labels, and
how to decipher whole grains.
“We appreciate the work that the SU Ag Center
and Mrs. Anderson do here at the shelter. She has been coming to us,
consistently, for over a year and were glad to have her,” said Ms. Reid,
Daytime Program Coordinator.
While Mrs. Anderson prepared their fresh fruit
salads, the ladies shared what changes they planned on making in their diets
and food selection going forward.
