March is National Nutrition Month, an annual observance that encourages Americans to adopt a healthy eating pattern that includes nutritious and flavorful foods. Nutrition professionals and health and child care providers often celebrate this special month by providing educational and fun resources and treats to promote healthy eating at work and at home. This year’s theme, “Savor the Flavor of Eating Right,” encourages food traditions and the appreciation of eating flavorful foods with friends and family.
