I am revising some nutrition education materials to seventh grade level and 
looking to the LISTSERV for practical assistance.  As many of you know, 
detailed nutrition education involves lists of foods to "choose" and to 
"limit."

The way that seems most readable and visually organized is bulleted lists 
that have been chunked into food categories.  The layout and design 
consultant hates this and my boss "doesn't like the way it looks."  

I am new to health literacy, but am totally committed!  Any advice?  Is there 
a better way?  I've gotten some good advice from books and a wonderful mentor 
from UNE, but am I missing something that is totally obvious to you experts?

Thanks for your help.  mj
