Nutrition Sells: One Small Step for Mankind
In results that surprised most diet experts, the grocery store chain Hannaford Brothers yesterday released the results of a study that supports a surprising notion, namely that nutrition sells. The chain had conducted a yearlong experiment steering consumers to healthier foods using a store-created rating system called Guiding Stars, which rated the nutritional value of foods on a one- to three-star scale, three representing the healthiest foods.
I have a feeling that even the leaner, center-cut bacon got a measly one-star. If a labeling system like this went nationwide, I wonder if it would have a profound effect on people's food-buying and eating habits.
Pass the broccoli, please.
