The overall goal of our Nutrition programs and activities is to promote healthy eating and physical
activity habits as an integral part of a healthy lifestyle and to enhance personal decision making skills
regarding food and nutrition topics based on sound, reliable, evidence-based information. To achieve
these goals, several services will be provided.
