March is National Nutrition Month® (NNM), a nutrition education and information campaign created annually by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy). The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. The March 2013 theme for National Nutrition Month® is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day.”
The theme recognizes food preferences, lifestyle, cultural, ethnic, traditions, and health concerns all impact individual food choices. Registered dietitians play a critical role in helping people eat right, your way, every day.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of National Nutrition Month®.
