Liz's Healthy Table

A few weeks ago, I traveled to Chicago for the Food & Nutrition Conference and Expo, fondly known as FNCE. In addition to attending scientific sessions and hearing from thought leaders like CNN's Sanjay Gupta, I wandered through the Expo hall tracking innovative new food products and exciting nutrition trends. On the show, trends tracker and fellow dietitian, Janet Helm, MS, RDN joins me to dish about her favorite food finds, my top picks, and mouthwatering innovations coming to a supermarket near you.

Did you know that 40% of the food produced in the U.S. goes to waste? When I first heard that startling statistic, I was floored! Wasted food means wasted resources and wasted money.
