I Guess It’s A Start . . .

The healthiest choice at a Bronx bodega? It’s a tough one:

All this week, nine western Bronx restaurants and five bodegas will be offering free samples of the healthiest dishes on their menus or shelves.

The bodegas, near schools, will offer samples of such healthy products as baked chips, low-fat milk and fruit. Organized by Bronx Health REACH and its sister program, Bronx Healthy Hearts, the Bronx Food Festival hopes to potato-chip away at the borough’s burgeoning beltline, with an estimated 27% of its residents considered obese.

We’ve got a long way to go when “baked chips” are one of the healthiest options . . .
