Do You Feel Like Dancing?

On a cold and rainy Thursday morning, I was reading Lisa Andrews' latest post about lipids. When I got to the bottom of the page, the Dancing Heart poster caught my attention. Now it was early and I wasn’t all that awake, but that cute fruit-and-veggie-filled dancing heart gave me a burst of energy. It made me think first of Dancing with the Stars, then the song Dancing Queen from Mamma Mia. Looking at it again a few days later, it even evoked a little Saturday Night Fever (now I’m showing my age!). Bottom line -- it put me in the best mood and it made me want to dance! So I searched the Nutrition Education Store for “dancing” to see what else goes along with this theme. What a great way to liven things up and make food fun again for your clients… Dancing Heart Poster Hang this poster in your office, waiting room, cafeteria, hallway, or classroom.
