Every year, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
hosts National Nutrition Month® to celebrate the
important role nutrition plays in our lives. This year’s
theme, “Food Connects Us,” emphasizes how food
plays an integral role in reinforcing community
bonds, whether it’s at your own family dinner table,
at a neighborhood potluck, or at your local food
bank or soup kitchen.
To dive into this year’s theme, nutribullet R.D.
McKenzie Jones shares the many ways we can
engage with food on a social, cultural, and
ecological level to build stronger bonds in all
areas of our lives.
