About Meijer Nutrition Tips
CET is dedicated to bringing trusted information about health and nutrition to you and your family. Whether it's through programs like
Sesame Street
or
Arthur
-- on air or in special areas of the CETconnect website -- we strive to provide you and your family with ideas for eating healthy. The choices we make can lead to healthy lives and families -- and a healthy community.
Toward that goal, CET has developed a partnership with the Cincinnati Nutrition Council, and, with support from Meijer, we are pleased to present these nutrition tips.
