The theme for National Nutrition Month 2016 is "Savor the
Flavor of Eating Right," which encourages everyone to take time to enjoy
food traditions and appreciate the pleasures, great flavors and social
experiences food can add to our lives. How, when, why and where we eat are just
as important as what we eat. Develop a mindful eating pattern that includes
nutritious and flavorful foods. That's the best way to savor the flavor of
eating right!
