Gyeonggi Province Launches Initiative to Promote Healthy Dietary Culture

Gyeonggi Province is operating two programs-the "Mobile Dietary Safety and Nutrition Exhibition" and the "Dietary Safety Magic Performance Education"-to promote a healthy dietary culture that all generations can relate to and participate in.

This program, organized in collaboration with the Gyeonggi Dietitians Association under the Korean Dietetic Association, visits a variety of locations such as elementary schools, middle schools, hospitals, and public institutions. Its aim is to help people of all ages-from children and adolescents to adults and seniors-easily understand and practice the importance of dietary safety and nutrition in their daily lives.

The "Mobile Dietary Safety and Nutrition Exhibition" features sodium- and sugar-reduced meal models, educational panels, nutrition information displays, and one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions with a dietitian (in a Q&A format).

The "Dietary Safety Magic Performance Education" is designed to teach students about dietary safety in an engaging way through magic and balloon shows.

Jung Yeonpyo, Director of Food Safety at Gyeonggi Province, said, "This initiative is a field-oriented educational program that allows all generations-from children and adolescents to adults and seniors-to experience the importance of dietary safety and nutrition in an easy and enjoyable way. In particular, since the dietary safety and nutrition exhibitions held at hospitals and city halls are open to the general public, we hope many residents will take an interest and participate."
