The article is titled Cupboard Essentials for a Diabetes Diet by Madeline Van, MPH. This article is very useful for just about anyone trying to live a more healthy lifestyle, not just those who have diabetes. It lists many staple items one should keep on hand for quick and easy snacks and meals. I liked this article a lot, because it gave practical suggestions, rather than the typical message of buying fresh, organic foods only. Sometimes fresh and organic are not readily available or they are outside the price range of many. This article lists items such as canned beans, canned vegetables, canned fruits (packed in their own juices), various vinegars, whole grain foods like brown rice and barley. In my public health program these are some of the things that we learn – not just how to eat and live more healthy, but how to find resources that are affordable and accessible. I was going to have the article sent to me by email (as I so often do with interesting articles I read on NEWSLINE), but I’m not sure that is permissible. Also, if I were to pass on the article you’d not have much reason to use NEWSLINE to find it yourself! I’m a vehement advocate for NEWSLINE and encourage everyone on this list to get it and use it often!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Melanie<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
