National Food Day on Fri., Oct. 24 is a celebration of healthy, sustainable, affordable food. Earth Day and Food Day both began in the early 1970s. While Earth Day celebrations took hold, Food Day languished. It was revived in 2011 under the auspices of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Food Day began in Greater Kansas City that same year, coordinated by a committed group of local nonprofits, businesses and individuals with a passion for healthy, sustainable, affordable food.
