This program was implemented as a hands-on education on "Making Healthy Snacks" to promote voluntary healthy eating habits and prevent obesity among children and adolescents, receiving high praise from participants.

Considering the eating habits of children who usually do not eat fruits and vegetables often, the children made and tasted healthy snacks such as fruit yogurt and tortilla roll sandwiches that made ample use of fruits and vegetables.

The education aimed to help children develop healthy eating habits by increasing their preference for ingredients they usually disliked.

A child who participated in making the snacks said, "I usually don't eat vegetables well, but they blended well with other ingredients, so I could eat them easily and deliciously," and added, "It was more delicious because I made it myself, and I will try to eat vegetables better from now on."

A representative from the Jindo County Health Center stated, "We will do our best to foster proper eating habits and prevent obesity in growing children through various nutrition education programs."
