Eat Smart Idaho

Eat Smart Idaho teaches nutrition and consumer-related skills that lead to individual change. Eat Smart Idaho staff help adults with limited resources stretch their food dollars to provide healthy, low-cost, quick and tasty meals for their families. Research has found that when families take charge of their diets and food budgets, they often take more control over other areas of their lives, too.
