Mission Viejo proclaims March National Nutrition Month and names March 12 Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day
Summary
The commission presented proclamations recognizing March 2025 as National Nutrition Month and March 12 as Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day; representatives from the California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics urged residents to reduce food waste and consult credentialed RDNs.
The Mission Viejo Community Services Commission issued proclamations on March 18 recognizing March 2025 as National Nutrition Month and March 12 as Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day.
Sangrita Savastava, introduced by the chair as representing the California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, thanked the commission and urged residents to "eat right, enjoy each bite," to reduce food waste that she said is "approximately 40%" of food in the U.S., and to seek the help of credentialed registered dietitian nutritionists. Geeta Segan, introduced during the presentation as an associate clinical professor at the University of California, Irvine, described the RDN credential and said registered dietitian nutritionists provide "medical nutrition therapy" for chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
The chair presented signed proclamations on behalf of Mayor Robert J. Reesch and the City Council. Commissioners posed no objections and invited the dietetics representatives for a group photo.
The proclamations are ceremonial recognitions intended to raise awareness of nutrition education and the role of RDNs in community health.
