CORAL SPRINGS — A non-profit group dedicated to helping Floridians make smart food choices has a few words of advice: know how to shop healthy — and for less money.
With a study this year by Florida International University showing one in six Floridians lives in poverty, FLIPANY, or Florida Introduces Physical Activity and Nutrition to Youth, is increasingly offering grocery store tours to teach people "how to shop on a budget," said Jeff Milner, a chef with the organization. "People are really struggling to make ends meet."
Among the tips from Milner, who led a tour Friday at a Walmart in Coral Springs:
• "Stay around the perimeter of the store" where supermarkets typically keep the healthiest foods, such as milk and fruit. The middle aisles contain processed choices.
