October 24 was National Food Day as to what the Center for Science in the Public Interest has declared. It started in 2011 of the same day and this is to encourage all Americans to eat healthy and purchase real food that are affordable The theme for this year is called "Towards A Greener Diet," according to Fox2Now.com.
National Food Day this year is encouraging more people to live healthy with the way they eat and only eat food that are not processed nor killed. This means no animals were harmed just get a meal and the foods are all plant-based.
This event also aims to push for better food policies nationwide. Since the theme this year is for a "Greener Diet," it doesn't necessarily mean everyone should just eat salads. There are other healthy foods that can be incorporated in it like legumes, vegetables, beans and the list goes on.
Staying away from fast food chains and buying food in the grocery that are not even real. We're talking about the processed ones that are nothing but chemicals. Always read the label of the food that you would buy whether it is canned or packed. You will notice the many chemicals you probably haven't even heard of and once you see them on a label, drop it really quick because that is not food that you're about to purchase.
It is sad how the food industry have contributed to a lot of bad diet habits that Americans are into these days. This is why this National Food Day is trying to rebuild the healthy eating lifestyle that people in America should have. Anyone who would participate in it would benefit a lot when it comes to their body, health and even their budget.
