County urges healthy office snacks

With holiday baking at full steam, you’re likely being tempted regularly with sugary treats at your workplace.

In the newsroom, this week alone, the offerings have included peanut butter and Snickers cookies, chocolate chip cookies, Danish and Christmas toffee (and it’s only Wednesday!).

But Clark County Public Health is challenging everyone to trade in the holiday cookies and candy for bowls of fresh or dried fruit, nuts and party mixes.

The health department posted a photo of fruit and veggie trays on its Facebook page to encourage the fresh options.

Health officials are also urging people to send Public Health pictures of their office’s healthy holiday snacks. (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Clark-County-Public-Health/118900154793937)

What do people in your office snack on around the holidays?
