Today is FOOD DAY!

But you knew that already, right? Maybe not. Well, it appears that 2011 marks the inaugural national Food Day, which is sponsored by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Here is the blurb from the website:

Food Day seeks to bring together Americans from all walks of life—parents, teachers, and students; health professionals, community organizers, and local officials; chefs, school lunch providers, and eaters of all stripes—to push for healthy, affordable food produced in a sustainable, humane way. We will work with people around the country to create thousands of events in homes, schools, churches, farmers markets, city halls, and state capitals.

Healthy affordable food produced in a sustainable humane way?? Sign me up! Visit the website, www.foodday.org, to find out what Food Day events are happening in your community. Not the organized get-together type? Celebrate on your own by making sure that all of your meals today are made from "real" food. It'll taste better, be better for the environment, and make you feel better in the long run. Happy Food Day 2011!
