The Health Promotion Disease Prevention Program for VA VISNs 1,2, and 4 has designed an Annie text message subscription called Healthy Cooking. It provides Veterans with daily educational messages for planning, shopping, prepping, storing, and cooking meals and snacks.
“Eating well really starts at home and with meal planning,” Katie Kirzoncic, Health Promotion Disease Prevention Program Manager, said. “For some, this can be a momentous task. We hope that this health subscription can offer Veterans practical tips that will, in turn, transfer to a healthy lifestyle/eating.”
Once registered to use Annie, Veterans can self-subscribe to receive Healthy Cooking messages. Simply send a text with the keywords “SUB COOKING” to Annie (75338), and you will receive one message a day for six weeks.
