In Harrisonburg, Virginia, the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Network and the Virginia Dietetic Association launched a 'Reel Cure for Real Hunger' night at local movie theaters. According to the school’s magazine Tiger Weekly, “the Student Dietetic Association wants to collect at least 250 plastic shaker containers of various dried herbs, spices and salt substitutes that can be stored in a pantry.” The students look for items like common onion powder and oregano flakes, but also accepts more expensive spices such as dried rosemary, ground ginger and dried thyme and parsley. In Louisiana, the land of Cajun cooking, nutrition students at Louisiana State University celebrate National Nutrition Month by holding a spice drive. If food banks and soup kitchens are symbols of service to the poor and needy, it is natural that special charitable events are scheduled during Nutrition Month. Nutrition Month in Schools and Colleges With child obesity becoming a serious health issue in the country, National Nutrition Month is also an appropriate opportunity for schools to emphasize healthful eating to students and parents alike. The United States armed forces, with its more than 1.3 million active-duty personnel, also schedules Nutrition Month activities during March, providing vast arrays of information including a “Barracks Dweller Shopping List” of healthful foods and a guide to “Healthy Eating in DOD Lodging.”. In Kinston, North Carolina(population 23,000), every March the Lenoir Memorial Hospital celebrates National Nutrition Month with free food samples at a 'Healthy Eating Choices' fair in its cafeteria. Nutrition month activities can be found anywhere, in schools, on the Internet, and in your local newspapers, from small towns to huge organizations.
