Girl Talk Week Two!

So as all you followers know, last week was the beginning of the camp “Girl Talk”, where TNT was partnered with American Heart Association. TNT promised that you would be getting a dose of what was presented at this camp, so as promised, here is a break down of the second day.

The girls learned about how to shop in the grocery store and the most important areas to be shopping in. These important areas are; Produce section, Fresh Meats, Dairy, and Breads (minus the bakery J). The things that should be avoided like; processed foods such as frozen meals like Stouffer’s, cake mixes and brownie mixes like Duncan Hines and Pillsbury, prepackaged meals like Hamburger Helper, and macaroni and cheese and ready to go lunches for kids like Lunchables. These foods have additives like high-fructose corn syrup and partially-hydrogenated oils which can do harm to the body. TNT also went over how to properly read nutrition labels and understand the ingredient list on packages that seem to be unavoidable to young kids. The key to understanding the grocery store is that everything you need to eat healthy is located on the outside border of the store. Most of the time starting with your fruits and vegetables, going through the bread, then the meats, then the dairys and ending at the checkout counter! All the necessities that you need are on the perimeter! This should definitely help with a quick trip to grocery store on your next visit.
