Objective: Teach clientsthe importance of eating whole grains everyday.

Pick a Better Snack was developed in Iowa, and, with their permission, we have adapted it for use in Kansas. Focus groups were completed with low income families. Focus group participants said that one reason they don’t eat more fruits and vegetables is that it takes too long to prepare them. They also indicated that the easiest way to add fruits and vegetables would be for snacks. We’re encouraging people to look for ways to add fruits and vegetables to their snacks.

USDA Food Stamp Nutrition Education and the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund have provided funding for this campaign.
