It may be the last day of National Nutrition Month, but recognizing sustainability through food choices can be highlighted all year long.
Meridan Zerner is a registered dietitian nutritionist with the Cooper Clinic in Dallas. She said this year's theme for National Nutrition Month is "Fuel for the Future," which captures the idea of eating healthily and sustainably.
She said when we think about choosing more plant based snacks, researchers find it's more planet-friendly because food production is 30% of the gas contribution globally.
Meridan Zerner joined the KRLD Afternoon News to discuss the best way to acknowledge this month.
