The national Food Day is Monday, October 24th and there are so many ways for you and your family to participate this year. Cities nationwide will be hosting events that support local farmers, sustainability and offering ways to eat healthier. According to the organization, “Food Day seeks to bring together Americans from all walks of life—parents, teachers, and students; health professionals, community organizers, and local officials; chefs, school lunch providers, and eaters of all stripes.”
You and your family can make Monday Food Day in your home with a few simple ideas:
- Visit a local farmers market this weekend
- Plan a healthy meal together, giving everyone the opportunity to participate in the preparation
- Commit to only eating healthy food for one day; leave the junk food in the pantry and dive into those fruits and veggies
- Look for grocery stores and markets that promote local farmers and sustainable practices
