When was the last time you listened to a nutrition story told by someone?
As a Nutritionist-Dietitian, Iโm often the one speaking. But during my last event for the 51st Nutrition Month celebration last July 30, I had the chance to sit back and listen, this time, as a judge.
This yearโs Best Nutri-Story Teller Contest focused on overnutrition, a growing concern we sometimes overlook.

The stories were simple, but true.
One ate too much, another avoided healthy foods, and one learned why our food choices matter.
Often, these stories reflect real-life habits which many kids donโt know what a balanced meal looks like.
Sometimes they eat too much of one thing, or not enough of the others. But with awareness and care, overnutrition can be prevented.
Thank you so much, Valencia City Nutrition Committee for having me and for the meaningful Nutrition Month celebration! ๐
