World Food Day

soulsings October 15th

World Food Day is an annual call to action by the United Nations on 16 October each year. It is an annual reminder that food insecurity and malnourishment remain widespread. We can help people who do not have sufficient food to maintain health, but we can also become more aware of the food we are eating. Eating foods that are produced in our country can also help reduce transportation costs and consequesnces.

Here are links to help us read the labels on the food packages and understand the abbreviations and how this affects us: https://www.fooddocs.com/post/food-labels#nutrition

@soulsings oh I did not know about food transportation around countries, except third world countries 🙁, God bless them all ❤ I just assumed we all just ate food grown and made locally. That is bad news for small farmers I would imagine😕 thanks for bringing this to our attention ❤

@Tinywhisper11 there are farmer markets in many towns and cities where you can buy fresh produce locally. I also watch the labels as there is a lot of foreign food shioped in.

@soulsings I've never been shopping, and I have chefs here. So I never knew about this. I have heard of farmer markets though

@Tinywhisper11 if you were able to get in the kitchen and whip up some food, what would you imagine you would like to cook?
