Food literacy, broadly defined as the ability to plan, select, prepare, and eat foods that support health. Key themes of food literacy include skills and behaviours, food/health choices, culture, knowledge, emotions, and food systems. Development of these components begins in early childhood through an interplay of modeling and exposure in the home environment. Structurally vulnerable families may experience poorer nutrition profiles which may be a result of various factors including reduced food literacy. The objective of this study was to explore the impact of a 12-week food literacy program in a preschool-parent population.
