Today the guest speaker came in and talked about Meijer groceries and the nuval program. I had never heard of nuval before today. I have mixed feelings about the program. On one hand I think it seems helpful to those people who aren't good at reading labels and picking out what really is bad for you, so it would be beneficial to them to go off of a higher score as healthy. I just feel that the overall point of it is compromised especially when comparing different foods, especially those that aren't nutrient rich. I did like how the website had a section that could make a grocery list for you as well as give you the recipes for each meal.
