June Dairy Month Tries to Help People Remember Farmers and Good Health

Joyce Fikri, Nutrition Educator from the St. Louis Dairy Counsel, appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show Wednesday. Fikri joined to discuss how June is Dairy Month, and that this is a time to not only honor dairy farmers, but great way to remember that milk, cheese, and yogurt play an important role in a healthy diet.

 

 

Fikri said that it's important to get the recommended amount of calcium in our diet per day because if people don't get enough, they can see certain deficiency effects later in life.
