How Many Americans Don’t Eat Enough Veggies? The CDC reported in 2010 that only 33 percent of adults were eating the daily recommended amount of fruit, & even fewer—27 percent—were meeting their veggies. And that’s adults; the numbers for teens were worse. https://t.co/j5KpIwKKVP

Did you know? Research shows that WIC kids get more iron, potassium, and fiber. Great job, mom! Keep feeding your child a variety of healthy foods from the WIC food package so she gets these important nutrients.

We in the Erie County WIC program fully support breast feeding as breast milk is chock-full of good nutrients for your baby and confers many health benefits. Breast-feeding has health benefits for moms, too, and promotes mother-infant bonding

Just a reminder that mental health conditions are not adjectives:

🚫"You're being so OCD"
🚫"She can't make up her mind, she's so bipolar"
🚫"He's such a psycho"

Think before you speak! The language we use to talk about #mentalhealth matters. 💚#StampOutStigma #FridayFeeling
