Make Healthier Food Choices with Fooducate

It seems like every time you turn around there's a new report about the dangers of some common ingredient in our foods. If you're like me you start checking and find that virtually everything in the cupboard contains something that's recently been on the news.

What really makes me mad are those products that are packaged to look like they are healthy for you. Energy bars are a great example. Next time you're in the store pick up your favorite sports bar and compare it to a candy bar. Amazing isn't it? They are almost exactly the same!

So in this sea of confusing ingredients and marketing trickery how are we supposed to make the right choices? If only there were some tool we could use to access which food choice is best. Well, as if you haven't already guessed,.....there is!

Fooducate
