About our Events
-
Our signature event is our workshops. Workshops are rotating lessons about a specific nutrition concept. For example, one workshop might focus on macronutrients and another might be centered around reading food labels. We will restart our lessons from the beginning once we have gone through each concept.
-
Each workshop includes an activity where each participant can apply what they learned during the workshop to hands-on or interactive exercises.
-
All of our workshop lessons are posted on the website with the slides and any additional resources given during the workshop. We also release recordings that go along with each workshop so everyone can participate even if you are unable to make our workshop in person.
-
We also organize food donation drives that are centered on healthy foods drives. With the food we get, we prepare nutritious-packed meals that go to individuals facing food injustice. Meal preps happen both in and outside of workshops.
-
To learn more about specific workshops, please look above at our previous and upcoming workshops. All of our upcoming events and past events can also be found on our social media platforms, Instagram and TikTok, with short descriptions of what will or has happened.
Recording policy
-
During Biting Back in-person and online workshops there will be a photographer taking photos of the workshops, which can include attendees. We might use these photos for our social media platform and website; this is extremely important for the organization so that we can show real reactions and experiences from our workshops.
-
If an attendee is uncomfortable being posted on social media or on our website, which is more than understandable, we ask that they let us know–so we can ensure they are not photographed or posted. By coming to an in person workshop you are consenting to being photographed or videotaped, unless specifying otherwise to us.
