Cooking Matters For Teens, Shopping Tour!

i May 24th by

Yesterday, Cooking Matters for Teens went on the road and took a shopping tour at Hannaford.

We looked at our favorite cereals, accessing them for sugar, dietary fiber, and other nutritional components.  We then selected cereals which we thought were healthy and put them to the test.

We looked at unit prices and determined how much it costs to make different foods.  French fries cost $0.34 per serving to make.  How much do they cost at your favorite fast food chain?

We looked at our favorite soft drinks.  How much sugar in a serving?  What if you drank the whole bottle?!

We had lots of fun shopping and learning.  At the end we got to choose a healthy snack.  Thanks!
