Joy Bauer, nutritional expert at The Today Show, shares her top three snacking tips to get you through the holidays. The founder of Nourish Snacks says that food between meals should be no more than 200 calories, made with nutrient rich ingredients, and should taste delicious. “If you’re not in the mood for carrots, nothing against carrots, they’re really good for you, or kale chips, you’re going to eat them and you’re not going to feel satisfied,” she says. “You’re going to be looking for something else after that.” The healthy and the “indulgent” snack industries have been playing tug of war, as more people are leaning towards healthy choices. Data firm Statista reports that in 2016, the U.S. healthy snack industry saw a 3.8 percent sales growth, while the indulgent industry only saw 3.4 percent growth in dollar sales. Bauer tells Cheddar that eating both healthy and delicious can be a challenge, so she wanted to create a snack brand that was not “punishingly healthy.” With Nourish Snacks, Bauer set out to marry the best of both worlds, healthy and tasty. “I know it’s ridiculously hard to give up the foods and the flavors that we love,” she says.

Michigan Judge Sentences Walmart Shoplifters to Wash Parking Lot Cars
A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
State Department Halts Plan to buy $400M of Armored Tesla Vehicles
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
Goodyear Blimp at 100: ‘Floating Piece of Americana’ Still Thriving
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
