This Day in History: 2025-11-08

European Day of Healthy Food and Cooking. The Member States of the European Union are celebrating on 8 November the European Day of Healthy Food and Cooking, organized with the aim of promoting healthy eating habits among children, given that more and more children in Europe are obese. Childhood obesity is an extremely worrying problem, especially when it comes to the nearly 22 million children in the EU who are overweight or obese, and their number is increasing by 400,000 every year.
