ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – The government of Newfoundland and Labrador has teamed up with Dietitians of Newfoundland and Labrador to raise awareness of healthier eating habits on the job, in observance of March as Nutrition Month. This year’s theme, Eating 9-5!, intends to highlight common cravings and better choices for the five most challenging times in a typical employee’s workday: rushed mornings; meetings and events; lunch; midday slumps; and the commute home. “As an employer, the provincial government recognizes the importance of living a life that balances home and work,” Ross Wiseman, Minister of Finance and Minister Responsible for the Human Resource Secretariat, said in a March 2 press release. “A major component of that healthy balance is ensuring we eat nutritious foods throughout the day.” The provincial government has also published an e-pamphlet, Putting Health on the Agenda, suggesting healthier snack and beverage options for workplace meetings and other events.
