Dia Mundial da Alimentação
Conhecia-a em 1997 quando, ainda em regime de voluntariado, trabalhei no Centro de Saúde de Vila Franca de Xira. Nessa altura a médica de Saúde Pública que lá se encontrava a desempenhar funções (hoje não está lá ninguém), Dra. Ana Bela Falcão, actualmente em Almada, dava primazia à Promoção da Saúde e as actividades em escolas ou fora delas, com crianças, adolescentes ou idosos acabavam sempre por abordar a questão da alimentação equilibrada.
