WAYNESBORO, Miss. (WDAM) - March is National Nutrition Month and is meant to bring awareness about the health benefits of eating a proper diet of nutritious meals.
On Friday, The Mississippi State University Extension Office in Waynesboro held a drive-thru event handing out educational material, healthy recipes and cooking utensils to the public.
The Extension Office also conducts free nutritional education classes for youth and adults.
Madison Payne, a nutritionist with the MSU Extension Service, says healthy living isn’t just about eating the right foods, but it’s a good place to start.
