Abstract
Based upon questions from Extension clientele, this program was developed to: inform consumers about facts related to nutrition issues that frequent the media; provide enough research-based information to allow consumers to make decisions about controversial issues; and provide research-based answers to nutrition myths. A pre-post opinion survey was administered to measure change in attitude about nutrition issues. Following the program, participants felt more informed about nutrition issues and had a better understanding about controversial issues.
