The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program has teamed up with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to advocate for informed food choices and healthy eating habits during National Nutrition Month.
Embracing the 2024 theme “Beyond the Table,” MDHHS Director Elizabeth Hertel emphasizes the significance of mindful nutrition regardless of location. This initiative extends beyond mere meal consumption, delving into farm-to-fork dynamics, grocery shopping strategies, and sustainable practices to reduce food waste. Encouraging Michiganders to diversify their diets with locally sourced produce, the WIC Program underscores support for the state’s agricultural heritage.
Amidst bustling lifestyles, the campaign aims to foster a culture of holistic nutrition, spanning from home kitchens to community settings, fostering healthier individuals and a sustainable food ecosystem.
