Minyard Food Stores, Inc. announced Monday they joined forces with Oldways, a non-profit food issues think tank, and its Latino Nutrition Coalition (LNC) to distribute “Camino Magico”, a guide to healthy shopping.
The free bilingual booklet, which is available at all Carnival stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, is aimed at promoting healthy food and lifestyle choices among Hispanic consumers.

- Dinner plate images showing the food groups
- Recipes and meal ideas
