Eight people graduated from the Frank Johnson Recreation Center’s Food Talk program on Thursday, March 30. 

There was a short program followed by a healthy potluck dinner that was prepared by members of the class using what they learned through the program. 

These people, who are dedicated to eating better, spent eight consecutive weeks learning about eating well on the go, the colors of your food and what they mean, grocery shopping on a budget, and more. The program was supported by the UGA Cooperative Extension’s Expanded Food & Nutrition Program. 

“These classes were a great way for people to learn how to budget and prepare healthy meals,” said Center Supervisor Clarence Thomas. “It’s our hope they take what they have learned and help their friends and family begin eating better.”

Classes included: Your Food, Your Choice; Keep Your Pressure in Check; Save with Smart Shopping; Color Me Healthy; Eat Well on the Go; Become a Nutrition Detective; Keep Yourself Well; and Keep Your Health Out of Jeopardy.
