How many people knew that March was National Nutrition Month? Well I think it is safe to say, not many.

After all, we are becoming a nation of celebrating only the holidays that validate our desire for unhealthy foods. Not to mention those manufacturing companies who enjoy filling our easter baskets with all kinds of fun, festive, holiday candies. Then there's St. Patrick's day. Broccoli is not as interesting as Green Beer, or at least it looked that way on all the television stations that covered it. They have an uncanny way of making sure we prioritize our celebrations.

National Nutrition Month was created by the American Dietetic Association to promote healthy in eating in 1973. It is a great time for us to “spring” into our weight loss programs.

Maybe next year we will celebrate National Nutrition Month; as long as we have no other holidays to eat to!
