Healthier Eating is in the Stars....
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Shredded wheat gets 3 stars. Baked beans, 1 star. Doritos, no stars.

Hannaford Bros. supermarkets says it's an effort to simplify choices for consumers, using gold-star shelf tags to mark the healthiest foods. The rating system is in 150 of its stores in upstate New York and New England.
Some experts agree it makes sense.
