My guidance counselor friend at school gave me this great guide. Our school district is on a Wellness kick just like everyone else. Well she gave me this guide called The STOP & GO grocery guide by Steven G. Aldana, PhD. It is a complete guide of items found in the grocery store. It is set up like a stop light. Red items are to be avoided, yellow item go easy, and green item are the healthy items. It shows servings, calories, carbs, total fat, sat. fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and sodium. You can order it online at www.welcoa.org and depending on how many books you buy is the price. For a single copy, $6.95. They also have a fast food guide which I haven't seen. Hope this helps someone.

    Excellent. You can also check out works by Michael Pollan. Food Rules, In Defense of Food, and The Omnivore's Dilema. Very informative.
