Family and Community Health Sciences Presents the Program Eat This Not That

Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County Family and Community Health Sciences (FCHS) will present the program, Eat This Not That, at 6pm on Thursday, August 13, 2026. This program will take place, both virtually and in-person, at the Ocean City Public Library, 1735 Simpson Avenue, Ocean City, NJ.

The presenter will be Chris Zellers, MPP, Cape May County Family and Community Health Sciences Assistant Professor/Agent. This program will look at foods that people often substitute as a healthy option that may be a poor choice while also looking at ways to substitute high fat, high sugar foods with flavorful choices that are better for our bodies. Zellers said, “This program will uncover the truth behind common food label claims, helping consumers distinguish between meaningful nutrition information and marketing buzzwords used to sell products.”

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.
