First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether training community leaders to run food literacy workshops can help people make healthier food choices. The program focused on teaching practical skills like reading nutrition labels and meal planning, rather than just giving facts. Researchers enrolled 260 women from disadvantaged communities in Israel to see if the approach was feasible and well-received.
