Healthy Lunch Day and American Diabetes Month

November is American Diabetes Month, and tomorrow is the first ever National Healthy Lunch Day.  The American Diabetes Association is encouraging people to pack a healthful lunch, and restaurants to offer healthful options on November 17.  The day is an attempt to raise awareness of the need to make good choices at mealtimes.  Use #HealthyLunchDay to join the conversation on Twitter.
