This past Sunday, I spent a wonderful day with Phil watching a fantabulous Pittsburgh Steelers' victory. We started the game by visiting old friends and meeting some new ones at a traditional Pittsburgh Style tailgate. While it had all of the important elements of a Pittsburgh Steeler tailgate, this one had something that many do not. On the buffet table amidst the wings, dip, and potato chips, I saw healthy choices. A low fat, bean and veggie loaded chili. It didn't stop there either there was a great big bowl of fresh fruit and fresh veggies cut up. The choices weren't just sitting on the table either. People were grabbing those pieces of fruit and filling up on the veggies. And I will add that our hosts did not know that I am a dietitian.
So many times we don't include the healthy options because we think everyone does not want them at events like football games. Instead of assuming, if you would think about grabbing veggies or a piece of fruit yourself include them in your menu. You never know who else might want a better option.
