Kids Healthy Eating Test

I teach many classes for kids healthy eating at area schools, churches, the Jewish Community Center and more. [Ponn: We'll have to get you into the Islamic community too, inshaAllah, God willing ]   Frequently the organization is using grant money to pay for the healthy eating class for the children.  When that is the case we offer a pre-test and a post test so that the results can be used for future grant funding.
