The Giant Company offers virtual classes to fight ‘meal fatigue’

Nutritionists at The Giant Company, the Carlisle, Pa.-based operator of 190 supermarkets, will be offering a series of free virtual cooking classes to help consumers combat “meal fatigue,” as the continuing coronavirus pandemic and cooking and eating at home challenge shoppers to come up with fresh ideas for dinner.

“All of us are looking to start the new year with a fresh start and that includes meal ideas to bring the family together around the table,” said Rabyia Bower, RD, LD, regional nutritionist with The GIANT Company. “Our series of free virtual classes provide quick and affordable solutions to eliminate meal fatigue and spark inspiration in your kitchen this year.”

The Giant Company's Family Meals at 5 classes are designed to help consumers combat “meal fatigue,” as the continuing coronavirus pandemic and cooking and eating at home challenge shoppers to come up with fresh ideas for dinner.
