SUZANNA’S FOOD LABELS

Last month the Wellness School had a two session course on reading food labels and making healthier food choices, organized by Suzanna.  In doing research for this project, she discovered a web site that converts data on food ingredients into food labels almost identical to those available on store bought food.  A project for the Wellness Unit has been to create food labels for our breakfast and lunch choices.  The first items labeled have been our smoothies and carrot muffins.  We are able to calculate not only calories for each item, but complete nutritional information.  This information will be enlarged and laminated, bringing food choices at the Wellness Cafe to a new level of sophistication.  This information will also be very useful for menu planning.  This is another home run for the Wellness Unit.
