Today’s the day.
This is your chance to indulge in a delicious feast.
It’s National Food Day. How will you celebrate?
The aim of today is to celebrate healthy foods. Food activists encourage you to “eat real” today. What exactly is eating real? Real is the opposite of fake, or artificial. While doing your shopping to celebrate Food Day, stay away from foods containing ingredients you can’t pronounce. Try to buy food with simple, recognizable ingredients. The National Day website encourages us to create a feast using fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and sustainably raised protein.”
Surf the internet for a plant-based entree to serve your family. If you’re not used to eating these kinds of foods, you may be slightly hesitant. The truth is–there are incredibly delicious options out there. You could even make a plant-based cheese sauce for mac-n-cheese for the kids!
