Join the movement and make every meal a memorable one during Eat Better, Eat Together Month - because food always tastes better when shared with loved ones!
October is not just about pumpkins and Halloween – it's also Eat Better, Eat Together Month! This month-long celebration encourages families and friends to come together and share a meal while promoting healthy eating habits. Started in 2004 by the nonprofit organization Healthier Kids Foundation, this holiday highlights the importance of eating nutritious meals as a group. So gather your loved ones around the table and enjoy some delicious and wholesome food together – after all, good food tastes even better when shared with good company!
Get the whole family involved in planning and preparing healthy meals. This will not only promote healthier eating habits, but also create a fun and bonding experience for everyone.
Invite friends over for a potluck where everyone brings a healthy dish to share. This is a great way to try new recipes and get inspiration for healthier meals.
Sign up for a cooking class focused on healthy eating. Not only will you learn new skills and techniques, but you'll also have the opportunity to meet new people who are also interested in eating better.
Gather a group of friends or coworkers and start a healthy food club. Each week, rotate who brings a healthy dish to share and discuss tips and tricks for eating better together.
Make a game out of trying new, healthy foods. Create a list of fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods that you've never tried before and challenge yourself to try at least one new item each week during Eat Better, Eat Together Month.
Eating together as a family or group can encourage better food choices and portion control. It's easier to make healthy choices when you can share and discuss meal options with others, rather than just ordering takeout or eating alone.
Eating together allows for quality time with loved ones and creates opportunities for meaningful conversations and bonding. It also helps establish a routine and provides structure to our day, which is important for mental health and overall well-being.
By going out to eat or cooking meals at home with locally-sourced ingredients, we support our community and promote sustainability. Eating together can also involve trying out new restaurants or recipes, expanding our culinary horizons while supporting small businesses.
