Just picked up a little recipe card from Kraft at the grocery store today, and thought I'd share it with you. The apple-cheddar stacker recipe offers protein, calcium, fiber, and energy. A decent little snack for the kids or you!
Ingredients:
It's like a dream come true -- a vending machine that contains only healthy stuff that won't de-rail a diet -- and they're yummy items to boot. I don't spend my money at vending machines, but there's been a few times that I've been tempted. So it would be great to have access to snacks that are high in protein, low in a fat and calories, and still tasty and satisfying enough to curb your hunger while at school, the mall or an appointment -- what do you think?
Kraft Foods said this past Wednesday that it is recalling Baker's Premium White Chocolate Baking Squares due to a possible salmonella contamination.
A number of large food companies, including McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Campbell's, Hershey and Kraft, have promised to promote healthy eating and exercise in advertising campaigns aimed at children. This means limiting the presence of kids characters and games on unhealthy items, although this only applies to outside characters and not the brands own spokescartoon (think Ronald McDonald), who can be used to promote any item. Critics are wary and think this move will have little impact. In fact, one mother quoted says that it doesn't matter if apple slices are being pushed on children, because they already know what they like: French fries.
In some ways, it seems like these food companies are making a very small, un-impactful step in the hopes of relieving pressure from mothers and health groups, who rally them to stop perpetuating the childhood obesity epidemic. Still, I think it's a good start. What's your opinion?
