Now is the time to prepare your nutrition education outreach activities for the March 2008 National Nutrition Month®. The American Dietetic Association sponsors this month-long nutrition education and information campaign annually. The campaign is designed to focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
The slogan for this year’s event is “Nutrition: It’s a Matter of Fact.” The theme is meant to promote healthful eating to any audience—co-workers, clients, community, school, or others.
Many nutrition communicators schedule presentations and workshops or write newspaper and magazine articles on the benefits of healthful eating and physical activity using National Nutrition Month® as a springboard.
The International Food Information Council Foundation has numerous nutrition and food safety education materials that are ideal for use with National Nutrition Month® activities. By ordering now, you will be assured of receiving the materials that you need in plenty of time for the National Nutrition Month® celebration of one of life’s greatest pleasures: enjoying a variety of delicious and healthful foods. These materials are available online at http://www.ificpubs.org/servlet/StoreFront.
