Checkout Lines Put Central Pennsylvania on a Sugar High
Have you ever noticed the amount of candy at the checkout lines in grocery stores, convenience stores, and gas stations? Marketers use these settings to sell their sugary candy bars and other sweet treats because it is easily accessible to customers and the last thing they see before checking out. As a student in the Central Pennsylvania community, this is something I would like to see change. Promoting other snacks at the checkout lines like granola bars, hand fruit, and nut mixes would not only serve as an incentive for consumers to introduce healthier foods into their diets but will also contribute to promoting the overall health of our community.
