‘Fruit and Veggie Fest’ focuses on healthy eating
Food, fitness and fun are planned for the Network for a Healthy California’s “Fruit and Veggie Fest” to take place Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Grocery Outlet, 625 Commercial St.
The Network for a Healthy California, in partnership with retailers across California, hosts a series of Fruit and Veggie Fests each year to encourage people to make every meal delicious with the flavors of fruits and vegetables.
Throughout May, retailers across the state are holding special events and promotions to inspire shoppers with nourishing eating tips and recipes that include plenty of fresh, frozen, dried and canned produce.
”Making healthy choices at the store can be the first step to creating healthy habits at home, such as including more fruits and vegetables in the meals we make for our families,” said Rachael Gibson, a health education specialist with the Department of Health and Human Services’ Public Health Branch in Eureka. She also serves as a retail program specialist for the Network for a Healthy California.
Eureka’s Grocery Outlet has a variety of activities planned for its Fruit and Veggie Fest. Shoppers can ride on a blender bike, take part in a “rethink your drink” water tasting event, have fun in a physical activity game area and test their nutrition knowledge on a power wheel of questions.
