National Nutrition Month an annual campaign by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is celebrated every March. During this month everyone is invited to learn about nutrition healthy lifestyle behaviors and informed food choices. This year the theme is Food Connects Us which celebrates how food is a way to connect with our friends and family as well as to other communities and cultures. By understanding how a meal is prepared where the ingredients are sourced and who it was made by we not only can better understand what factors influence the foods we eat but also how food can directly impact our health.
