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.

Al Sharpton to lead pro-DEI march through Wall Street
The Rev. Al Sharpton is set to lead a protest march on Wall Street to urge corporate America to resist the Trump administration’s campaign to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The New York civil rights leader will join clergy, labor and community leaders Thursday in a demonstration through Manhattan’s Financial District that’s timed with the anniversary of the Civil Rights-era March on Washington in 1963. Sharpton called DEI the “civil rights fight of our generation." He and other Black leaders have called for boycotting American retailers that scaled backed policies and programs aimed at bolstering diversity and reducing discrimination in their ranks.
A US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday. It’s a big deal.
Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less is set to end starting on Friday. Trump already ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, but having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will be subject to the origin country’s tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%.
Southwest Airlines’ new policy will affect plus-size travelers. Here’s how
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
