Jessica Williams,
nutritionist for the
UMass
Extension Nutrition Education
program, offered two seminars for the
public at Bristol Community College during March 2008. These programs
covered basic information on how to plan, shop for and prepare a
nutritious diet, with a focus on fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Content also included the major food
groups in the new food pyramid (www.MyPyramid.gov)
as well as information on food safety and nutrition facts label reading.
"People are hungry for information on what to buy and prepare to get the
best nutritional value for their dollar," commented program director Pat
Bebo. "These seminars are one way people can get reliable information",
she added.
