A Non-Scary Treat For The Holiday Weekend 
 
 POPCORN
 
* Popcorn eaters get 250% more whole grains in their diet than people who don't eat popcorn.
 
* Three cups of popped popcorn (what you get by popping 1 heaping tablespoon) equals one serving of whole grains.
 
* Skip the butter, and those three cups only cost you 105 calories.
 
* Another money saving, healthy way to get your popcorn fix - skip the microwave versions. They normally contain hydrogenated oil (trans fat), artificial flavors, and too much sodium.
 
Example:
* 32 ounce bag popcorn kernels: $2.29  
(do you know how many 3-cup servings you get from this?)!
* 3-count (individual packages) box microwave popcorn: $3.69

"A Delicious Halloween Poem" 
  Trick or treat the candy's sweet
You're mindful of how much you eat 
 
Fun-size, bite-size they trick the eye
To eat only one you really try
 Fat-free candy corn that's for you
No wait, isn't chocolate good for you?
 
Coconut, caramel, nougat, and nut
Is it true what they say, it goes right to your butt?
 
Hold on just a sec, let's be reasonable here
Halloween ghosts are what you should fear
 
Here's a quick tip to give you a grip
And off healthy foods, your focus won't slip
 
Eat a bit of your favorites, let the other stuff lie
Then get rid of what's left without batting an eye!
 
Happy Halloween Everyone!
