NEWS

Sneaky Snacker Alert!

A shocking 90% of parents admit to sneaking goodies from their kids' candy
bags. 90%!!! So, chances are, if you have kids (or know any!), you'll be
doing some munching. Before sinking your fangs into some Halloween
treats, know your "fun size" facts:

Halloween fun/snack sizes:
Twizzlers - 45 calories
Milk Duds - 40 calories
Butterfinger - 100 calories
Milky Way - 75 calories
Tootsie Roll (Midgee) - 23 calories

If you're handing out candy this year (and who isn't?!), be sure to give out
stuff that doesn't tempt you. If you've mistakenly (yea, RIGHT) purchased
your favorite chocolate bars, get rid of 'em ASAP and stock up on some
other, less appealing stuff. And treat yourself to some of our yummy
pumpkin dessert recipes instead of gobbling up your kid's Halloween stash.
Good luck...and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Chefs Don't Count Calories...

Oh, here's a shocker. It seems most chefs don't care AT ALL about how
many calories their dishes contain. A survey of 300 U.S. chefs found that
only one in six cares about how many calories they place in front of you.
What does matter to them is taste, looks and customer expectations. Both
chefs and restaurant owners insist that it's up to the diners to know when to
stop eating, and therefore it's likely that serving sizes (as well as our pants
sizes) will continue to grow. HG's advice? Be careful...and do your part to
make sure your favorite local eateries become part of
healthydiningfinder.com (our new favorite website). If we all start
demanding healthy options and detailed nutritional info, we can make a
difference.
