Back to School

Shopping and school go hand in hand, and unfortunately stress often fits right in there. But Fairway feels every food shopping experience should be stress free. After all, what's not to love about food? We do know, though, that parents are often bombarded with information about the healthiest and most nutritious foods for their children, and they often get overwhelmed when trying to decode what those daily values mean on labels, while rubbing their eyes in an effort to more clearly read that itty-bitty ingredient list on packages. What's a well-intentioned and time-crunched parent to do?

Meet Carlon Colker, MD, Fairway's Health and Nutrition Consultant at the Stamford Café, on Saturday, Sept. 17. In an hour-long Q&A session, starting at 11 a.m., he'll give you the label-reading lowdown and the scoop on how to feed your children the healthiest foods using simple shopping strategies that can even involve the kids (let them work for their supper!). He'll even chat about how to fit in fitness as a family. Quick and easy advice from a doctor – that's right, Fairway delivers more than groceries to families! We provide much-needed expert information, too. And because we know how it's hard to get your attention when the kids are in the mix, we'll keep them occupied with arts and crafts, beginning at 10 a.m.

Plus, to keep your bellies full and to get your full attention, we're providing PRODUCT SAMPLES from some of your favorite companies like Horizon and Annie's. DON'T MISS THEM -- AND DON'T MISS THIS SPECIAL EVENT!
