Take a bite for healthy eating

UB faculty, staff and students can show their support for healthy, seasonal eating by taking part in the “New York Campus Crunch” on Oct. 24.

The event, sponsored by Campus Dining & Shops with support from Health Promotion, will be held in the lobby of the Student Union, North Campus.

At noon, participants will bite into apples — en masse — to affirm their commitment to food that is healthy for people and the planet.

Campus Dining & Shops will supply local Empire apples to the first 300 attendees. Participants also can bring their own apples.

Apples are a healthy and seasonal food that grow abundantly in New York State; in fact, New York is the second-largest apple-producing state in the U.S., averaging nearly 30 million bushels annually.
