There is a ton of information out there about “healthy diets” but much of it is confusing or contradictory. There’s also a lot of buzzwords like “ultra-processed” flying around that aren’t always clearly defined. As a shopper, it can be hard to know just how nutritious or non-nutritious an item is. This is especially true when some information is not easily visible when looking at an item in the grocery store or online. Come learn:
• What’s missing from the food label
• How to spot healthy vs. unhealthy items
• How to navigate the grocery store or online food spaces.
The event will be an expert and community panel discussion with opportunities for audience Q&A's, as well as opportunities for networking afterwards.
Location: Hearing Room 1D of the Legislative Office Building
The intended audiences for this event include:
- Community Members and Families
- Food Systems Professionals
- Policymakers
