<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">The Center for Science in the Public Interest has created Food Day, an Earth-Day-style event on October 24 designed to increase demand for healthy, affordable food produced in a sustainable, humane way. Communities
across Oregon and the United States are hosting local events in homes, schools, churches, farmers markets, city halls, and state capitals to raise awareness and create change. For more information:
<a href="http://foodday.org/">http://foodday.org/</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">Specifically, here are two links on the Food Day page that relate directly to our work:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="square">

<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">If your community is hosting an event it’s a great opportunity to integrate public health messages and make the point that increasing access to healthy food is one important part of creating communities where
all Oregonians can be healthy (we also need tobacco prevention, opportunities for physical activity and access to screening and self-management!). You can sign up to attend local events and talk about your policy work and other priorities. Also, reach out
to media to offer public health data and expert interviews. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">If you don’t have a local event, you can still use the national attention on Food Day to talk with media and other influencers about the role of healthy food in preventing chronic disease, and the need to increase
access to all kinds of healthy options. <o:p></o:p></p>
