Today Karen Bakies from American Dairy Association came in and talked to us. The mission of the dairy counsel is provide timely, scientific-based nutrition information to the media, physicians, dietitians, nurses, educators, consumers, and others concerned about fostering a healthy lifestyle. Also administers grants to independent researchers to aid in discovery new information about dairy foods and their important role in a healthy lifestyle. The Dairy Association is funded by a dairy farmer. For every 100 pounds they get 15 cents. There are 83 cows in Ohio. The national diary counsel has many nutrition messages: communicate accurate, science-based food and nutrition information, help consumers access trusted information, and educate consumers to differentiate between commercial and non-commercial. The ADA has segmented respondents into 3 groups of I'm already doing it, I know I should, and Don't Bother me. Karen also taught us a lot about dealing with specific audiences and know how to target and inform them in way they understand. Try to keep them interest by doing activities. Today Karen played Simon says and it was really fun! It was really interesting to her today. I feel like she knew exactly what she talked about and keep the class interested in the dairy counsel.
