Cape May Court House, NJ – Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County Family and Community Health Sciences (FCHS) will present the program, Unfounded Food Claims, at the Ocean City Public Library from 6:30 to 8pm on Thursday, March 6, 2025. This in-person presentation is sponsored by the Ocean City Public Library, 1735 Simpson Avenue, Ocean City, NJ.
Chris Zellers, MPP, FCHS Educator/Assistant Professor for Cape May County, will teach the program. She will discuss the differences between accurate food advertising that provides a healthy option verses buzz words that offer a healthy suggestion but no real nutritional value. “During the presentation we will examine some foods that people often consider to be healthy that are not represented clearly. We will also look at ways to substitute high fat, high sugar foods with flavorful choices that are better for our bodies,” said Zellers.
In her position, Zellers educates the community on wellness, nutrition, and fitness. She has extensive experience collaborating with partners to create healthy food environments in the areas of Policy, Systems and Environmental Change. In addition to community health policies, Zellers works to educate residents on topics to improve their overall health and prevent chronic disease with a holistic approach to a well-lived quality lifestyle that includes physical activity, a nutrient-dense diet, and quality sleep.
