Banana Stickers


Did you know that the American Dental Association recommends certain toothpastes over others?

Yep, they have a seal (see left) that assures that the product is safe and effective, as evaluated by body of scientific experts.  For example, they really like Colgate Total, but not the whitening varieties...

I wish that the American Dietetic Assocation had a seal of approval for food.  If I were on the committe of experts, I would recommend that only produce (fruits and veggies!) and minimally processed healthful products (a.k.a. foods that still have integrity) receive the seal.  That way, more people would buy (and eat!) fresh, wholesome food.

It would be like the new Chiquita® banana stickers - best marketing tool ever!  (and especially influential for small children)  An additional perk would be that, when clients ask what they should be eating, dietitians can simply tell them to choose foods with the stickers.  Brilliant!
