In 2004, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked obesity as the number one health danger facing America. Obesity currently results in an estimated 400,000 deaths annually. Nutrition education must be used as a preventative tool to combat this epidemic. More organizations have begun adding nutrition education components to their programs and seeking new resources. Individuals visiting food pantries are also seeking simple healthy recipes that use many of the food items they receive in their pantry bags. WHY has received various calls on its National Hunger Hotline from individuals and organizations seeking this information. Through WHY’s network of organizations across the country, WHY has been able to pull together a small collection of healthy low cost recipes. The goal of this resource, Tasty Healthy Recipes, is to have a simple tool available which may aid in improving the quality of the diets of the guests of emergency food service providers and others. This resource contains basic recipes and simple tips on eating well. Food provided and consumed in a healthy way can be the foundation of better health. Working with the foods they are provided with and making the most out of them is one way guests of emergency food programs can take control of their own health. We hope that you find this resource helpful for your guests and yourself. We encourage you to print out copies to distribute to your guests.
