Hooray for this courageous company to buck mainsteam business, where the bottom line seems to be the only goal. Kudos to Hannaford Bros.. I hope your courage will spread across this country like a wildfire before it's too late. What a great and simple system you've designed. Keep up the great work.

i just wonder what makes people trust the store to judge what is star-worthy. i still think that we should make our own choices.

This is a great start to help uneducated parents & kids make better choices, we still have a very very long way to go!

I think that it is unfortunately similar to cigarettes and pharmaceuticals, while they put our disclaimers it does little to deter an uneducated public. I think sites like this, readers like us, and a willingness to tell the truth are the only productive path towards making a difference. Perhaps this is a start, lets be hopeful!

Finally, a grocery store with enough "gumption" to say even though I am selling this is probably is not as good as the seller says it is. I wonder which company is going to sue him?

.....um, why not just NOT sell lame food, mm? Though we can't do it legislatively, in the marketplace, we can always not vote for something - we can always say 'hell no, try again, fool' - and it have an impact.
