When we have a better understanding of how the foods
we purchase and consume truly affect our health, our mood and our energy, perhaps we are not only focused on the moment we are shopping or eating, but rather thinking of our future health, our friends and families. </p><p style="text-align:left;">In this video, <a href="https://www.foodcity.com/">Food City</a> Corporate Retail Dietitians Kirby Stanton, RDN, LDN and Nicole Pazdziorko, RDN, LDN, share how they are connecting with consumers in meaningful ways, building trust
