9. Call to Action: A Refresher from NLN 2018
“We are at a time in which we cannot take Federal nutrition guidance and nutrition education resources for granted; however, we are at a time in which our collective action – our stories, services, publications, research – can create the most impactful evidence on the human health benefits of a healthy eating pattern. These contributions can profoundly impact nutrition policies, practices, and programs.” – Angie Tagtow
