October 24th, 2011 Food Day!


Did you know October 24th is Food Day? Food Day urges Americans to, advocate for healthy, affordable food products in a sustainable and humane way. FoodDay.org works with people around the country to create thousands of events to promote "eating real" in homes, schools, churches, farmers markets, city halls, and state capitals.

The 6 Food Day Principles are to:
  1. Reduce diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods
  2. Support sustainable farms & limit subsidies to big agribusiness
  3. Expand access to food and end hunger
  4. Protect the environment & animals by reforming farm factories
  5. Promote health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids
  6. Support fair conditions for food and farm workers

How can you participate?

Join an event that is already planned in your area. Search the FoodDay.org website to find a farm tour, cooking demonstration, or Food Day celebration near you.
