Holiday reminders

As the dreaded holidays loom closer and closer, Ned reminds his friends to try to choose foods that like us rather than just settling for foods that we like. Many people could avoid putting on those pounds if they ate abundant fresh fruit instead of heavy desserts, and drank vegetable juice, avoiding fruit juice because of the concentrated sugar.
Remember to look for low salt (not just low sodium) vegetable juice, like the stuff in big bottles from Trader Joe's.
One other thing: Ned has noticed with growing alarm the tendency on the part of grocery stores to put out free food samples at eye level to grubby little rug rats, who promptly start playing in the food, wiping their germ-and-snot-laden hands all over it. Remember it is flu season so avoid any such food, and bring the health issues to the attention of store personnel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
