I read an article at the end of last week that listed Charlotte as the number FIVE consumer of junk food - IN THE COUNTRY! We were even ranked higher than New Orleans which is definitely not a health food destination! WOW! The rankings were based on a yearly grocery bill of products bought at major grocery chains throughout the country and counted the amount of "unhealthy" foods purchased. Anything from cookies, salty snacks, high fat condiments and higher fat frozen meals were included in the "unhealthy" category.
With all the media focused on healthy eating and other articles highlighting the plethora of walking paths, local farmer's markets and other opportunities for healthy lifestyles, this is a disappointing ranking and one that i KNOW we can do something about.
