The Traffic Light Diet
Written by Pat's Papers | Saturday, 13 March 2010 10:11 AM

Deardorff says the traffic light analogy has been used in the UK for years to help consumers make good nutrition choice. A new children’s book based on the strategy makes healthy eating simple for children to grasp: Green (Go!), Yellow (Slow!) and Red (Uh-Oh!).
