2010 Healthy Living Summit attendees: you are invited to tour the Frito-Lay plant!
You might be surprised to learn that Frito-Lay products are minimally processed using farm-grown ingredients and healthier oils. Starting with potatoes and corn that arrive every day, chips are made from these simple ingredients. We cook the sliced potatoes or corn in sunflower, soybean and/or corn oil, and sprinkle with salt and sometimes seasoning for a unique flavor. In addition, you will also learn about Frito-Lay’s commitment to the environment as illustrated through eco-friendly technologies that are implemented in our manufacturing facilities.
The Frito-Lay plant tour will take place during the day on Friday, August 13. Transportation will be provided and we’ll leave from the hotel at 10:00 AM and return by 5:00 pm, which will give us plenty of time to get ready for the HLS cocktail party that evening. The Frito-Lay Facility is located in Beloit, Wisconsin.
Since traveling with a buddy always makes the experience more fun, we’d love for you to invite a buddy! When you RSVP for the event, let us know your buddy’s name and email address and we will be sure to put them on the RSVP list with you!
Please RSVP by July 15 to iya.bleyman@ketchum.com. Space is limited so sign up soon!

Yikes!
This is NOT the kind of thing I expected from a HEALTHY LIVING summit…sorry but this sounds like a bit of a sell out…
sis they offer a lot of money or something in return?
Just had to be honest in my reaction!
(Otherwise keep up the good work gals!)
Oohh…I want to go, but I’m worried I’ll be jetlagged as I only arrive Thursday evening! And I really want to explore Chicago…argh! I don’t know what to do!!
Sounds like fun, but I’ll be exploring Chicago with a friend I’m visiting. Can’t wait to meet everyone at the cocktail reception that night.
I think I’m going to spend the day exploring instead..I’ve never been to Chicago! Is anyone else spending the day exploring? I’m going to be all alone!!
Hi M! Thanks for your comment and concerns!
We believe that part of living in balance and being healthy is enjoying treats in moderation. That’s why we had Frito Lay – whose chips are comprised of simple ingredients like potatoes, salt, and oil (and that’s it) – come on as a sponsor. Everything in moderation! We appreciate your thoughts.
See ya at the Summit!
Hi M, I totally get your comment, but …. my personal belief is that there is room in a healthy life for chips and snacks.
