This Just In...Healthy Eats At Taste Of Chicago

As the Taste of Chicago kicks-off today at 11 a.m. with free slices of Eli's Cheescake, you'll want to make sure that some of your other choices won't pack on the pounds!  Fortunately, there's a great selection of healthy eats to choose from thanks to Humana!

Since 2007, Humana has been a proud sponsor of the Taste of Chicago. This year, they're pleased to offer the Humana Healthier Choices promotion, which raises awareness of healthy foods and activities at the Taste of Chicago. They've also provided the Humana Healthier Choices food guide that highlights all the healthiest foods at the Taste. And, no visit to the Taste of Chicago would be complete without stopping by the Humana Dining Pavilion located near Buckingham Fountain where there will be fun and healthy activities for all ages!
