VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— The Knox County Health Department teamed up with local organizations to celebrate National Nutrition Month.
The Healthy Food Festival was an event featuring a variety of activities, like hands-on healthy snack demonstrations and interactive games. The purpose of this festival is to promote healthier eating habits and provide knowledge to make nutritious choices. Community Health Nurse Susan Yochum said it’s important to be aware of what we’re eating.
“I feel like there’s so much information out there on what people should eat and what they shouldn’t eat,” said Yochum. “And then we go to the store or we go to a restaurant and we don’t necessarily know what we’re putting in our bodies. And there’s lots of chemicals and there’s lots of different preservatives.”
For those who weren’t able to make the event can call the Knox County Health Department for more information. That phone number is 812-882-8080.
