The picnic included assorted wraps, grilled chicken, shrimp and salmon, assorted salads, veggie chips, healthy drinks such as vitamin water and flavored seltzer, as well as frozen yogurt bars, all from Highland Park Market. During the picnic, a “Skip It/Eat It” guide was also given out, which suggests which meals to choose and which to avoid at common fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, Starbucks, Subway and Taco Bell, breaking down calories, fat grams and sodium in each meal.
