A teaspoon of sugar helps the....wait, how many teaspoons are in the Frappe I just drank? This month in Saline, MI we discussed and displayed sugar in everyday items. In our Fireside Chat we discussed how much sugar you should consume each day, healthier alternatives to high sugar foods, and had an open discussion with residents and staff on common items with an abundance of sugar.
The creative display, with spoons in a "sugar stack", demonstrates the amount of teaspoons of sugar in each item. We wanted to put together an unconventional display to grab the attention of the residents and associates, and it has! It has brought awareness to sugar and has created several educational opportunities for the RDs.
