UGA Extension Office offering “Food Talk” classes

There is a fantastic new program being offered in Coffee County called Food Talk.  This program was created by the University of Georgia Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (UGA SNAP-Ed.) and classes are taught by your Coffee County Extension Office.

Food Talk offers six lessons that cover topics like how to make healthy choices when dining out; adapt traditional Southern recipes to reduce sodium and increase vegetable servings; and how to plan meals and shopping trips to save money.

Recipe samples are served in class and participants who successfully complete Food Talk earn a certificate of completion and receive additional educational extenders, such as cutting boards, measuring cups and a water bottle.

“We have a great need for this type of program in the state of Georgia, and we have a capacity to meet that need,” said Jung Sun Lee, an associate professor in the department of foods and nutrition who serves as principal investigator for UGA SNAP-Ed.

“Food insecurity, people having problems getting the type and amount of food they need, exists in this nation, but it’s hidden and not many people think it’s actually happening,” Lee added. “In all indicators, Georgia always ranks poorly (in obesity and chronic disease statistics). We hope we can change these issues.”

Classes are currently in session all across Coffee and Atkinson counties.  Classes are held during the day and also in the evening, making it easy to work into your schedule. Let’s start the New Year on a healthy note!

Contact Debbie Hendley at the Coffee County Extension Office at (912)384-1402 or visit www.foodtalk.org to sign up for a class.  Visitors to the website should click the green “Attend a Class!” button in the main navigation to find local information.
