This study explores how the knowledge and practical skills learned in Foods and Nutrition classes influences everyday food practices. The population sample consisted of ARMAC Secondary alumni students who had graduated between 2009- 2013, who had taken three or more years of Foods and Nutrition classes with me (Lauren Belonio) and who still resided in the Lower Mainland. Participants were recruited using social media, via a Facebook Study Page. The study began with an online questionnaire through FluidSurveys.com, where the students answered fifteen multiple-choice, questions, and had the option for participants to comment on each answer, regarding their experiences in Foods and Nutrition classes, as well as how they currently apply the skills and knowledge they learned. Answers to the questionnaires were analyzed for common perceptions and themes. The results from the study have implications for home economics educators in planning curriculum activities, that have a positive student response, as well as influencing the long-term food practices of students.
