Food Psychology:  Why We Eat More Than We Think

The obesity crisis remains a significant health issue.  One way to address this problem is gaining traction these days—portion control.

But how can you get people to focus on the volume of food they are consuming when schedules are busier than ever and simple convenience is king?  Learn more about strategies for tackling this growing crises during our 90-minutes program.   

AAFCS is proud to offer the following educational webinar (1.5 PDUs):

Food Psychology:  Why We Eat More Than We Think
