General Mill’s Eat Better America Initiative + Giveaway of a $25.00 Gift Card for Groceries

Although I usually blog on fashion savings, I wanted to take a moment to tell you all about General Mills Eat Right America Campaign.  This is a campaign to raise awareness about our diets, and what is in the foods we eat.  Have any of you been watching Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution on ABC the last few weeks? I have been watching (yes, I signed the petition) and frankly, I find it mesmerizing.  I can’t turn away, because it really spotlights the problem of the lack of healthy eating and smart choices about food that  we make in our everyday lives.  Since watching, I’ve been making more of an effort to eat fresh fruits and veggies, and to cook at home a few nights a week. I’ve just spent the last week  in the company of my 9 year old niece, and it has  been a struggle to get her to eat healthy foods. She would eat dinner every night from the nearest drive-thru window if left to her own devices. She thinks french fries are a good vegetable choice. One of the healthy things on her diet menu that she eats without being forced is Cheerios! Cheerios are made by General Mills and that is why I wanted to promote their Eat Right America Campaign on the blog.  (Note: This is not a sponsored post. )  If you’re looking for free advice on eating right, recipes and some coupons for savings, take a look at the General Mills Eat Right America Campaign. 

As a special incentive to bring attention to this campaign, General Mills has offered one of my lucky readers a $25.00 gift card for groceries.  Here’s what you need to do to win, simply leave a comment here by Saturday, May 22nd at midnight PST, and let us all know if you have a tip for eating or living healthy. Share a favorite recipe perhaps, or a workout routine that works?   Leave your email address in the comment, like this: healthy hananh at yahoo dot com so I can contact you if you win.

With Summer on the way, and more revealing fashions and swimsuits on display, now is good time to be thinking about this stuff.  To get more information about healthy choices register to become “healthified” on Eat Better America for a chance to win a $1500 grocery sweepstakes.  You can also follow Eat Better America on Twitter.
