MAHA Halloween

Hi, everyone. My name is Emily Hilliard, HHS Press Secretary. We're here today at Maha Trick or Treat with some of our amazing HHS families. Let's see what they're up to. We're Filipino. We like with a lot of Filipino comfort foods. I try to just add a lot of their favorite vegetables, even though it's like not traditionally. In those dishes. Yeah. But we make a way for those kids in school lunches. Yeah. I do like yogurt tubes. Yeah. A vegetable or a fruit. So we actually have an in-home garden. We grow a lot of our fruits and vegetables in the house. They recently planted some pumpkins. So we're hoping for next season they'll be able to harvest those. I went to the gym because I play soccer and I want I want to improve my performance. So I feel like going to the gym and improving your physicality is very important. A few things that come to mind are really just reading labels. I've always been curious what's in our food, but I think now there's so much more awareness of what the unpronounceable words actually are and the effects that they have on our health. Microplastics. I have sworn off of heating up my food in plastic. It's such an information battle, and so if it's an easy swap, why not do it? I think it starts with those small decisions and then it can really become a lifestyle. Produced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
