To continue the fun of National Nutrition Month®, the GSDA has put together a list of recommended movies that highlight many issues related to food and nutrition including how and where food is grown and produced; a look inside the food industry and the school lunch program; and an examination of food marketing, the healthcare crisis, and body image. Many of these films can be accessed through your local public library, movie rental store/service, or online using websites like Hulu or Netflix. So, get your friends and family together for a movie night, provide some healthy snacks, and watch one (or all) of these riveting films!
