I’m thrilled to report that my first column of 2017 has struck a chord.
If you missed the piece, which appeared in Issue 1 of our e-newsletter, Sweet & Healthy, it dealt with a mother’s proposal to create candy- and tabloid-free checkout aisles for parents who are shopping with their children. First reported in the Lansing State Journal and later picked up by Good Morning America, Jane Kramer, who’s from Michigan and shops at Meijer, is petitioning the grocery chain to remove such temptations and thus, eliminate the practice of constantly saying “no” to kids who are tugging on their parents’ sleeves.
