Nutritional Health Councelor, The Learning Curve



Friday, March 12, 2010

Wishing I could change the world . . . one less twinkie eaten at a time.

So apparently I the other day had a teeny-tiny influence on two separate people concerning their food choices. Little decisions that make me strangely happy.
The first example was a matter of waffling over two brands of Mac n'Cheese for kids. The first was Annie's . . . you know the way this plays out, dual pouches of noodles and yellow cheese powder cooked in the microwave. It was this product which has minimal ingredients and no genetically modified additives VS. Kraft Mac n'Cheese that comes in one little dish and a sort of sticky noodle. Needless to say the list of 'added' chemicals is long on the Kraft package! I was able to influence the mom who was choosing between these products the value and taste quality of the Annie's Mac. Phew . . . chemically enhanced mac n'cheese disaster averted :)
The other example was a direct result of how verbal (and horrified) I've been about deconstructing the contents of labels on packaging. A friend of my subconsciously (and for the first time ever) read the back of the mustard he was about to purchase . . . and passed it up because it contained an additive he didn't want to have in his body. Ahhhhhh, it was a good day for being 'label conscious.'
