School Lunches: Healthy Food is Hot

Who says you can't get kids to eat healthy foods at school?

Give up your preconceived points of views. If healthy foods are served for school lunch, sales don't decline, a University of Minnesota study found.

What's more, those nutritious lunches don't necessarily cost schools more to produce, researchers found.

Thanks to Yahoo News and Associated Press writer Steve Karnowski for alerting us to this promising phenomenon.

Among the more exciting conclusions: When researchers crunched the numbers, they learned that schools serving the healthiest lunches did not see a falloff in demand.

I hope you can help me out. I am trying to get my health under control so starting to eat right is my first step. Do you know where I can purchase quality food online? (that is on the healthy side) I am starting to do all of my shopping online because of various reasons…so I am hoping you can help me out with a suggestion or two. So far I have only tried Celebrity foods (which is outstanding by the way) I am in desperate need to grow my list of quality services or stores, where I can buy my food from. Thank you and have a great day or night (depending on when you read this. LOL! Note from Connie: Golly, interesting question. I know freshdirect.com in New York City is available. And I know you can order from Vital Choice -- they have the best salmon -- http://www.sugarshock.com/foods-supplements.html There are other vendors, but I don't have a list. Check out the resource section in some health books, which give great lists -- I know Jonny Bowden's new book has one, etc. Also, if you like, check out my shopping list on my website http://www.sugarshock.com/shoppinglist_signup.html and then you could contact some of the manufacturers to find out if their foods are available online. Good luck.
