Bangor - The staff at the Eastern Area Agency on Aging got a lesson in cooking Wednesday.

But the meeting wasn't just to learn how to cook good meals.

The staff will be applying what they learned to teach seniors.

According to the group, Maine ranks second for the highest rate of food insecurity among seniors in the country.

Food insecurity means Seniors don't know where their next meal is coming from.

The class was administered by Cooking Matters for Maine, an organization that teaches low income families how to cook and eat healthy.

"The recognition to eat healthy is not a major transformation there are a lot of small things you can do every day to improve your diet," said Kristen Miale with Cooking Matters for Maine.

If you'd like to help the Eastern Area Agency on Aging, you can give them a call at 941-2865.
