Nutrition Month: The Spread of Healthy Gastronomy

        In July of 2025, Ilocos Sur National High School celebrated Nutrition Month. During this time, I was able to participate in one of its activities, which was the Food Festival held by the TLE department. Despite there being a few complications, I'm quite proud to say 10-Maxwell did well. The morning of the Food Festival, I had woken up early to put the utmost care in the food I'd contribute to our stall— the food being tuna mayo sandwiches. 

        After excusing my fellow classroom officers and I from class, we then set up our booth in the designated area and I'll admit that we were loud, messy, and slightly chaotic during our set up time. I wasn't the only one who brought food, either. My other classmates brought their own homemade dishes, each tasting just as delicious as the last. Of course, no food stall is complete without advertising with a convincing sales person to go with it. As we drew our customers, the stock kept dwindling until nothing was left to sell. And not to brag or anything, but my tuna mayo sandwiches were the first ones sold out—though I feel as if that's mostly from my aggressive marketing strategy.

        For my first nutrition month in years, I quite enjoyed it. I got to meet new people through looking at different food stalls, and saw a few familiar ones as well. The time with my classmates were the best part. We laughed with each marketing strategy the other suggested, smooth talked our customers, and just had a fun time overall.
