February's Health Genie: Zinc

Health Genie

Dear Genie,

I want to help my family miss less school and work. There are so many products in the cold and flu section. I am unfamiliar with most. My kids would appreciate it if I didn’t make them take so many different supplements every time a cold is going around. They get exasperated if I offer too many remedies. My wife won’t take anything that is not backed by research. Can you suggest one supplement that could help us this season?

Thanks,

Devoted Dad

June's Health Genie

Health Genie

Dear Genie,
We have an outdoor wedding to attend in July (where we’ll be standing at the edge of a beautiful pond). My wife says she doesn’t want me to wear my favorite dark blue suit. She claims that I will attract mosquitoes and pledges not to sit next to me if I do. We choose not to use conventional bug sprays. If I take my chances and wear my favorite suit, do you have any suggestions on ‘natural’ bug sprays?
Thanks,
Got the Blues for Bugs

May's Healthy Genie

Health Genie

Dear Genie,
I saw a bag of ‘cacao nibs’ in the Co-op recently that seemed a bit more expensive than any chocolate I’ve seen. What are these and how are they supposed to be used?
Thanks,

April's Health Genie

Health Genie

Dear Genie,
I bake a lot and use non-stick cooking sprays frequently, but tossing out those aluminum cans has always been an irritant. Is there something that I can do to get the same effect, but reduce my level of waste? I have tried using cooking oils, but haven’t been happy with the results.
Thanks,
Frustrated Baker

An Eye Towards the Co-op's Future

By Clem Nilan, General Manager

Hot off the press… We’ve been working these past few months with a co-operative consultant to consider opportunities for a second store. You might remember that back in early November, some of our staff members were in the Co-op’s exitway gathering customer data. This was but one small piece of our market study. We’ve just received the results of that study evaluating our second store opportunities. What you’ll read below is the rationale for our considerations:
