Parent Wellness Program

FoodFight offers a cutting-edge Parent Wellness Program specially designed to arm parents with the knowledge and tools necessary to transform their health and wellbeing, serve as healthful role models for their children and become agents of change in their communities. This intensive, hands-on workshop provides parents with an overview of the social, political, and economic forces that shape what we eat and offers strategies for improving health.

A sample of the many topics we cover:

• How marketing and branding shape our shopping and eating habits
• What our bodies “really” need to stay active and healthy
• Supermarket skills: dodging consumer traps and maximizing shopping dollars
• What is the impact of food policies on our health and well-being?
• Portion size, serving size and belt size: how do they correlate?
• Decoding health claims and reading nutrition facts
• Why diets don’t work and what does
• Cooking simple, healthy meals that you and your family will love
