Salad bar smarts

  Comments (...)
Text Size: AaAaAaAaAa

Many people think eating from the salad bar is an automatic healthy choice, but this is not always the case.  

I subscribe to Diabetic Living, a Better Homes and Garden special interest publication. Even though I do not have diabetes, I like to keep up to date on topics and info that will be helpful to the people I work with who have diabetes. There is usually an abundance of great recipes and nutrition ideas that can apply to anyone.  

The Spring 2013 issue of Diabetic Living has a great article on tasty and healthy salad bar ideas. Not only does it provide tips on making a healthy salad, but also includes some ideas for delicious ingredient combinations along with their nutritional information.  

You don’t have to have diabetes to take advantage of these great ideas.

What is your stance on a proposed 1 percent sales tax to fund local school building projects?

I'm in favor of anything that will help improve school finances
I will support it if it helps to lower my property taxes
I oppose it because I don't believe it will impact property taxes and I will just pay twice
I'm against any additional taxes
I have not heard enough yet to form an opinion
