ABSTRACT
This paper presents a technique and tool for use in the collection of dietary information and for nutrition education among a wide range of clients, including those with low literacy, children, and persons with impaired hearing. The tool is a set of two-dimensional food models that are mounted on cardboard or heavy paper and then laminated. This paper descibes their use for the collection of food frequency data, data on food beliefs and attitudes, and meal planning especially among the Caribbean population. The technique is also useful to assess the effect of nutrition education when used in a pre-test/post-test protocol. The tool and technique are inexpensive and can be used repeatedly.

For the period covered by the study sardines were still being used by a wide crossection of the society. The ease in preparing sardines, their nutritive value and cost were chief factors affecting the amounts purchased and used. Sardines were a standard breakfast and lunch item. They were also used by the lower income groups for dinner. It, therefore could be concluded that inspite of price movements, sardines are still being used by all socio-economic groups in the society
