National Nutrition Month was officially recognized in 1980 after seven years as National Nutrition Week. Created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, formally the American Dietetic Association, as a way to distribute nutrition education and promote the profession of dietetics.  It now acts as an education and information campaign focusing "on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits."
