National Nutrition Month is all about getting the word out about making the healthy choice the easy choice for all and what better way to do that than to find out how to support all to have healthy food choice options.
The American Heart Association (AHA) is working to bring awareness to the Texas Capitol to encourage policy around healthier food access for the unfortunate 3.4 million Texans that simply don’t have a choice for healthy food as they deal with limited access to health food options.
AHA is asking everyone to support the healthy choice for everyone, by joining them on Thursday, March 23rd in Austin to meet with elected officials to discuss specific legislation that will help increase access to healthy food in underserved communities and help encourage healthier early childcare environments as well.
The event will also feature student artwork from across the state and AHA is asking all to wear red in support of healthy hearts and healthy food.
