National Food Day
October 24, 2012
Food Day is quickly approaching on October 24th and we are encouraging all of you to get involved!
Food Day is a national celebration and movement toward more healthy, affordable and sustainable food and a grassroots campaign for better food policies. The theme this year is “It’s Time to Eat Real!” Food Day aligns with the Network for a Healthy California’s (Network) strategic priorities which are, Priority 1: Increase access and consumption of healthy foods. (Note: Healthy food is defined for this priority as food that supports health and, to the maximum extent possible, is fresh and minimally processed. Healthy foods should be accessible and affordable to everyone, and ideally local, and sustainably grown), Priority 2: Decrease consumption of less healthy foods and beverages, and increase consumption of water and Priority 3: Increase physical activity opportunities throughout the day.
