BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters buy a fresh pineapple instead of packaged and preserved pineapple chips, we'll avert the CO2 caused by 18,776 roundtrips to the supermarket by car.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

Hmm... Since 1996, the USDA has categorized frozen French fries as fresh vegetables.

Do Funyuns count as a vegetable?

The Bite

Sorry, but nope. And the " natural flavors " you see on ingredients lists could be, well, anything. This year, try spending more time in the produce aisle, and fill your grocery cart with unprocessed, unpackaged foods. More onions, fewer Funyuns!

 

The Benefits

 

Getting your five-a-day. Fruits 'n' veggies pack important stuff like fiber, iron, and magnesium. (It sucks, but the fries in your value meal don't really count.)

An energy diet. Of the energy that goes into getting food on your plate, 16% is used in processing, and 7% is used in packaging; fresh fruits and veggies require almost no energy for these things.

Getting picked up. More time in the produce aisle means more opportunities to compliment fellow shoppers on their cantaloupes.

 

Personally Speaking

Pre-Ideal Bite, we assumed that " natural flavoring " meant stuff that does a body good. Tricky labelers...

 

Wanna Try?

 

Local Harvest - find local farmers markets for the freshest produce.
