Food Check-Out Week

Food Check-Out Week,
Feb. 20-26, 2011
Farm Bureau’s Food Check-Out Week, Feb. 20-26, 2011,
provides awareness about stretching grocery dollars with healthy, nutritious food. America’s farmers and ranchers are committed to producing safe, healthy and abundant food. And they share a common concern with consumers when it comes to putting nutritious meals on the table while sticking to a tight budget. Utilizing a food budget, planning balanced meals, making a list and sticking to it are just a few tips.
Available at the local Putnam County Farm Bureau office, educational materials help consumers make healthier food purchases. Information on several topics include:
· Tips for Better Nutrition on a Tight Budget,
· Understanding Food Labels
· Understanding What MyPyramid Means
As we learn more about how agriculture touches our lives daily, we can learn how to spend our money more efficiently for purchasing products.
