Food fuels our bodies and gives us the nutrition we need for the day. Aside from being delicious, sharing meals can create a sense of connection and belonging, and often serves as a way for families and friends to bond.

National Food Day was created as a way for people to focus on the importance of eating real and healthy foods. You can celebrate by sharing a recipe with a friend, eating a nutritious snack, or trying something new. Today, let’s celebrate with a musical menu!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs that reference food — or songs by bands with food names — would you like to hear?


Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
