Healthy Choice Helps America Get Healthier

When we introduced Healthy Choice 20 years ago, we knew we were doing something good by giving people delicious, easy-to-prepare meals. But what we didn't know was how much Healthy Choice could help Americans in their quest for health. Now we do.

A Healthier Alternative

By giving people a healthier, portion-controlled alternative to the typical American meal, Healthy Choice provided a way for Americans to potentially improve their diet. Looking back over the past twenty years, if Americans would have replaced the typical American meal with Healthy Choice meals and entrées, the results are astounding. They show that Americans could have potentially eliminated approximately 798 billion calories, 19,992 tons of saturated fat, and 4,855 tons of salt. That's pretty impressive—and that's not all.

Change for the Better

These types of positive dietary changes can help contribute to weight loss, as well as lower cholesterol and blood pressure numbers. It's well-known that improvements in weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure can help people reduce their risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and stroke. To understand what the effect of these positive changes might be, we engaged the services of the Lewin Group to model* what would have happened if Americans had actually eliminated 798 billion calories, 19,992 tons of saturated fat, and 4,855 tons of salt over the past 20 years. The result, not surprisingly, was a significant reduction in the number of chronic cases of heart disease and stroke.

The Future of Healthy Choice

Making positive changes in the way you eat can yield some pretty powerful results. Healthy Choice is proud of helping people eat better for the past 20 years, and we're going to keep improving. We hope you'll be part of the journey.

* The assumptions made for this estimation were based on a typical American meal compared to a Healthy Choice meal. The Lewin Group developed a model to estimate how much these nutrient changes would decrease the risk factors of body mass index, cholesterol levels and blood pressure in overweight and obese Americans who engage in a moderate level of activity. As these risk factors decrease, the incidence of chronic disease generally will decrease, too (unless pre-existing health conditions exist). The model uses national data about risk profiles and disease incidence to determine how many fewer cases of chronic diseases would result as people reduce their risk.
