The goal of the day is to teach individuals and families how to use local and inexpensive resources to improve their overall nutrition. The program will focus on the use of fresh fruits and vegetables that can be grown locally and how to prepare them to reduce instances of obesity and diabetes as well as to use familiar foods such as quesadillas and make them healthy .
