Healthy Shopping Guide
By Nancy Montgomery and Linda J. Moore, MPH
CONSUMER HEALTH INTERACTIVE Do you return from the grocery store without half the things you went there to buy? The next time you go, use our Healthy Shopping Guide to make up your shopping list ahead of time. Not only is it a handy way to keep track of what you need, it reminds you how many servings of each food group make up a healthy daily diet, so you'll be more likely to stock up on foods that are good for you. Plus, it gives you tips on reading food labels. Click here for the Healthy Shopping Guide (PDF file) (If this link doesn't work, you may need to download and install the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
