Heather Jose: How To Eat Healthy

November 5, 2008 - 10:15am 326 reads comments

My kids eat cereal, spaghettios, and ramen noodles but they also fight over fresh raspberries. Even though they can be expensive I would rather buy that than a bag of chips.

It is really all about the choices. I go for whole grain, no hormone, high-fiber whenever I can. I don’t have to spend more. This way I feel like every day I am killing cancer. . . and you can too.
