Identifying Nutritious and Affordable Options in Today’s Food Environment
The Connecticut Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity, and Opportunity (CWCSEO), is pleased to invite you to join us for this, the second of a 3-event series, to mark Hunger Action Month. These events aim to bring people from across the state together to connect, learn about issues that contribute to food and nutrition insecurity, and discuss possible solutions to those challenges.
There is a ton of information out there about “healthy diets” but much of it is confusing or contradictory. There’s also a lot of buzzwords like “ultra-processed” flying around that aren’t always clearly defined. As a shopper, it can be hard to know just how nutritious or non-nutritious an item is. This is especially true when some information is not easily visible when looking at an item in the grocery store or online. Come learn:
-
What’s missing from the food label
-
How to spot healthy vs. unhealthy items
-
How to navigate the grocery store or online food spaces.
Join us in Room 1D of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on September 26 from 10:30am-12:00pm for this discussion. Please RSVP here to let us know that you are coming!

A Conversation on Food and Nutrition Education for Family Wellbeing
The Connecticut Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity, and Opportunity (CWCSEO), is pleased to invite you to join us for this, the last of a 3-event series, to mark Hunger Action Month. These events aim to bring people from across the state together to connect, learn about issues that contribute to food and nutrition insecurity, and discuss possible solutions to those challenges.
Knowledge about nutrition, cooking, growing food, accessing available resources, and more can significantly strengthen families’ food security and health. However, access to opportunities to develop knowledge and skills around food is not always available to everyone. This event hopes to explore the current state of food and nutrition education in Connecticut, where there are gaps in access to that education, and opportunities to fill those gaps.
Join us in Room 1D of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on September 17 from 12:30pm-2:30pm for this discussion. Please RSVP here to let us know that you are coming!
