Image thanks to cafepsych.wordpress.com.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nI. Love. Food. I love cheese; I just turned the corner on olives; I love bread. I love my friend Feeble because she makes the best food in the world, like onion jam!!! (What is that even, other than pure tastiness?) Anyways, I think all of my closest friends love eating as much as I do and that\u2019s probably why all of our social engagements revolve around food\u2026I can\u2019t stop! My mouth is watering just writing this. Egads.\n\nI don\u2019t know about you, but if people were divided into those that \u201clive to eat\u201d and those that \u201ceat to live\u201d you better believe I\u2019d be in the first category. With that in mind, it\u2019s probably not a huge surprise to hear that I\u2019m excited about March since it\u2019s all about food; it\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dietitians.ca\/Your-Health\/Nutrition-Month\/Nutrition-Month-2012.aspx\">National Nutrition Month<\/a>! This isn\u2019t just a U of T thing; we\u2019re talking about a nationwide initiative here! And it's pretty handy timing for me. With all this triathlon training my appetite has been keeping me on my toes. I\u2019m learning a ton from my new \u2018mates about how to foster a healthy diet to best fuel my 'tri' body! But with the flood of info that\u2019s coming out this month about eating well, I\u2019m sure to get even more insight!\n\nBeing March \u2018n all, I was perusing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dietitians.ca\/Your-Health\/Nutrition-Month\/Nutrition-Month-2012\/Myths.aspx#12\">Dietitians of Canada<\/a> website. Specifically, I was looking at their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dietitians.ca\/Your-Health\/Nutrition-Month\/Nutrition-Month-2012\/Myths.aspx#12\">myth busting section<\/a> and found some very interesting information! Just the other day my roomie came home and was striking fear into my heart about the perils of cows\u2019 milk! I had also just returned from an in-house movie date, that I had brought homemade popcorn supplies to, but my host didn\u2019t have salt! Needless to say, these two separate events had me a little shook, milk and salty popcorn are staple items in my nutritive state! Fortunately the myths confirmed I need not fear Canadian milk and that table salt was a-ok to keep in-house, as it only comprises about 11% of our daily sodium intake. Don\u2019t believe me?! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dietitians.ca\/Downloadable-Content\/Public\/NM2012_FactSheet_2_bw_eng.aspx\">Check it out<\/a>!\n\nSo what does our very own U of T have going on in this oh-so-tasty month?!
