Health Literacy at the LibraryLet’s Read Altadena: Jan/Feb 2013
Ruth Pereira was counting aloud, “veinticinco, veintiséis, veintisiete,..” as she dispensed teaspoon after teaspoon of white sugar into a clear plastic eight ounce cup. Next to her, arranged on top of a piano, were small, medium and large bottles and cups of popular beverages each with an associated clear plastic cup of sugar. Ruth finally stopped counting at thirty three – well beyond the number guessed by the class. Brimming, the cup was set on the piano as a visual for the amount of sugar in a 44oz. Super Big Gulp.
This demonstration was one of many used in the Healthy Eating Lifestyles Program sponsored by Huntington Hospital and hosted by Adult Literacy Services for the Spanish speaking members of our community. The program was presented over five 90minute sessions. READ MORE !
