Jane Andrews MS, RD, Wegmans Nutrition and Produce Labeling Manager, states, “Our ‘Half-Plate Healthy’ guideline can help people balance foods to feel their best. Filling half your plate with vegetables and fruits makes it easier to stay at a healthy weight, have better blood pressure readings, and reduce the risk of certain health problems.”</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.wegmans.com/" target="_new"> Wegmans</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
