This week we hosted the “Feeding with Impact: Addressing obesity through nutrition education and access to fresh healthy produce” webinar. Guest speakers Celia Cole, Feeding Texas CEO, and Deanna Hoelscher, Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living Director, provided their knowledge on feeding with impact strategies. Learning to feed with impact will help address persisting issues such as limited access to affordable healthy foods, few opportunities for physical activity, and overeating. These matters all contribute to high rates of obesity in our population.
If you missed our webinar- or just want to watch it again-click the video above. You'll learn how Texas food banks focus to provide fresh produce sourced from Texas farmers, how the school-based Brighter Bites program combines fresh produce delivery with parent and child physical activity and nutrition education, and other ways these programs work to address obesity and promote healthy living.
