Jake on the Street – Episode 4

Healthy Initiative passes 1-year Mark

Would you like fries with that? You might think twice if their ample calorie count is staring you in the face.

Last year, the Belhaven Dining Commons (run by MMI), launched a “Healthy Initiative” program to help students make informed decisions about their meals. Along with changing all frying oil to 0-trans fat oil, the staff has added Nutritional Information cards to the mix, complete with the average calorie count in each entree. They also offer a sugar free dessert and ice cream each day.

So what’s the verdict? Do you think knowing the nutritional value of your meal options changes the way you choose your food?

Jazz up your weekend at Belhaven.
