Campaign Against Laziness

The University of Iowa Health Iowa’s campaign “Commission Against Laziness” continues in October. This month’s theme focuses on raising students' awareness of food choices when grocery shopping. 

Food mascots are everywhere, and most of the time we cheerfully accept their invitations. But let's think of what they really invite us to -sugary cereals, chips loaded with fat, food additives, and over-sized packages... They do taste good and cost little. Why? Our health and wellness pay the rest of the hidden bill. So next time you’re shopping for groceries, beware of food mascots. Think of your health and buy real food.
