Grocery shopping requires making many decisions as you move through the aisles and navigate dozens of options for similar foods. Join us for an hour-long Q&A session with a dietitian to discuss navigating the grocery store for your health and well-being.
The session will focus on answering your questions about grocery shopping including:
- How to plan your meals and snacks before you shop
- Key tips for best buys in different aisles of the grocery store (in-store and online)
- How to navigate food marketing, health claims, ingredients and nutrition labeling
- Where food comes from - we’ll explore the supply chain and how it impacts your shopping experience
- Practical ideas for how to save time and money when grocery shopping
Questions can be submitted with registration. What do you wonder about when you’re grocery shopping? We’ll answer your general nutrition and food questions (i.e. What is the difference between white and brown eggs? Which yogurt should I choose? Are frozen vegetables as nutritious as fresh?). Note: we can’t answer personal medical questions.
