A Popular Trend?

As the holidays rapidly approach and we begin what is typically the most fattening and unhealthy time of year, there is a bright spot.....rather..... bright star on the horizon.

For those who reside in the Northeast, you may want to check out Hannaford Foods for your holiday shopping. They have created a healthy shopping approach known as the Guiding Stars that ranks nutritional and healthy value of the food in the stores. Good food has one star, better food has two stars and the best food has three stars. The food is clearly labeled and helps people to choose healthy foods.

Even more promising are the shopping trends among consumers. The store has reported high sales for the healthiest foods and in stores where this experiment began. Even more promising they are retaining those high sales after six months, which is the traditional time frame when those unhealthy habits return.

The store also offers healthy recipes and cooking tips. Congratulations to Hannaford and hopefully more stores will follow suit.

Please remember that when we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, help your children to choose the healthy items and to eat them in moderation. They will appreciate it later.

Have a Great Thanksgiving !
