| The Effect of Income on Health & Obesity |
 A recent University of Washington study links poverty and obesity. Researchers studied the supermarket choices of 2,001 shoppers in the Seattle, Washington area. The study also considered the education, income and obesity rates of the subjects. Only 4-5% of the shoppers who chose the more expensive, health focused stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's were obese, as opposed to almost 40% who shopped at Albertson's, one of the area's lowest priced markets.

| Almonds Add Nutrients to Vegan Diets |
 Many vegans face daily challenges when it comes to finding nutritious, great tasting snack foods. Sources of protein and healthy fats are necessary components of a vegan diet, and almonds are a great source of both. In fact, almonds pack in more nutrients and health benefits than most other tree nuts. Click here for the rundown. Awesome AlmondsŪ are made using beet sugar, which qualifies for Vegan certification. Choosing beet sugar over cane sugar is also an informed environmental decision for us, since beets can be grown in temperate climates, lessening the impact on tropical environments. |
