This program's activity was conducted during a large-scale ISD event in a high-traffic hospitality setting, where participants rotated continuously throughout the duration of the program. Nutrition education was delivered using the Eating Smart • Being Active (ESBA) curriculum, specifically Lesson 3 (Plan, Shop, $ave) and Lesson 5 (Get Moving). Lesson 3 concepts were reinforced through a yogurt parfait demonstration, highlighting quick, affordable, and nutrient-dense breakfast options. Lesson 5 concepts were incorporated through the preparation of homemade cranberry granola, emphasizing healthy snacking and ingredient awareness.
Although initial resources were prepared for 400 servings, strategic portioning allowed 600 participants to receive food samples, demonstrating effective resource management and program scalability. In addition to structured demonstration and education, broader engagement occurred as students interacted in a fluid environment, allowing for reinforcement of nutrition concepts through informal dialogue. This approach supported both knowledge dissemination and practical application in a real-world setting.
