Imagine a world where every plate is full, every belly is satisfied, and every community thrives. Sounds like a recipe for success, right? But the reality is, many don’t have the security of having food fill their stomach.

As we celebrate this year’s Nutrition Month, may we remember that food is not a want, but a need for the proper growth and health of everyone. Food security is our right and must be prioritized for everybody. Happy Nutrition Month, Athenians!
