If you've ever wondered "what is a healthy balanced meal really?"It is NOT the USDA MyPlate created by #foodindustry lobbyists...We're hosting a live session with our Principal Dietitian focused on the basics of building a balanced meal.Makayla Meixner, MS, RDN is a true pro and she'll be saving time for your questions! COVID-19 poses a special threat to people with chronic health issues.Most chronic health issues in the U.S. are related to lifestyle - primarily diet.Meanwhile, many of us are eating more unhealthy food than we have in a long time.Now more than ever, we need to care for our health with good nutrition.Much love, peace & health to all 💚#accessibilityforall #healthequity #healtheducation

Day 3 at Expo West! It’s been awesome to see GreenChoice, pbc partners and meet so many leaders along the value chain from producer to retailer working to build a healthy and sustainable food system.If you’d like to connect - I’m walking the floor today and excited to meet with no agenda needed!Love seeing so many passionate entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs challenging the status quo with minimally processed, healthy and sustainable foods that are delicious alternatives to what plagues so much of our grocery store shelves. MUCH NEEDED. Also a lot of 🗑️ being pushed here 🤦♂️ NOT NEEDED.#expowest2024 #naturalproducts #sustainableagriculture #food #cpg #foodasmedicine

Awesome to hear the president of Hy-Vee supermarkets Aaron Wiese spend 90% of his airtime at Groceryshop talking about their health & wellness work. Hy-Vee, Inc. is a conventional grocer with 240+ stores in the midwest...Want a crazy stat? 60% of Americans want to eat healthy, BUT 90% don't know how.GOOD FOOD (CAN BE) MEDICINE and grocers are uniquely positioned to support consumers' health journey. Not with a pharmacy, but with access to fresh, clean great tasting foods AND tools and incentives to eat healthy.In turn, the retailer can tap into new revenue/funding sources (see what online grocer Mercato has done with "Thriving Communities"), meet their community's needs + help them achieve their goals, AND increase customer LTV doing it!This is where people, planet, and profit can align (the triple bottom line). Excited to see more grocers start working to seize this massive opportunity! If not because it's the right thing to do, then because it's the next tidal wave in grocery.It's a marathon, not a sprint, and it starts now.#foodasmedicine #foodtech #grocery #cpg

Cold messages only work if you make them feel warm.If you want a job and you're cold messaging me on LinkedIn to get a leg up... *tell me why you're interested in the specific role*, not what programming languages you use or that you want to discuss the job.And still apply. The application exists for a reason. We're not a Fortune 500–we read your answers.And please, DO NOT USE ChatGPT to write your application. It gives very generic answers and it's obvious. We'll cut you immediately.I hope this helps someone get a great job at a startup they wouldn't have otherwise.#startups #hiring #chatgpt
