Everyone knows that eating more fruits and veggies is good for you, right? But, if you're like me, you still don't get enough. Life - and my picky taste buds - always seems to get in the way of advance planning and culinary genius.

That's why I like this new logo that's getting slapped on over a 1,000 products in grocery stores across the country. Anything that has this "Fruit & Veggies More Matters" logo has already met strict nutrition guidelines for fat, sugar, fiber and sodium. Beats trying to do calculations with the complicated nutrition charts on food labels!

Stores that are participating include A&P, Bi-Lo, Kroger, Meijer, Publix, Safeway, Schnuck's, SuperValu, Ukrop's, Wal-Mart, and Weis.

Plus, the website has all kinds of shopping tips, recipes and ways to get the grandkids involved in cooking healthy. Check it out here.
