Eat your veggies, says the giant

With all of the negative press around food advertising and kids, it is good to read an article (via) about somebody promoting healthy eating.
“The Web site at MightyGiants.com features a program that teaches kids healthy eating habits and exercise through an interactive game. It also includes an area for parents with links to other educational sites for children.”
They do a good job of trying to make the task of learning about healthy eating fun for kids by including games, exercises, videos and fun flash navigation.
“Studies show that 96% of children don’t eat the minimum recommended five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day, Green Giant said.
The Green Giant Vegetable Habits Survey of parents and children ages six to 10 by Kelton Research found that three out of four children (73%) don’t eat vegetables with dinner every night.”
Good job, jolly green.
Now if we could only get adults to eat right and set a good example, that would be another move in the right direction.

I get my yeast, barley and hops. Also corn (maybe in the form of a chip) and potatoes (sp? – sorry Dan) (in the form of a fry?) and my lettuce/tomatoes on top of my taco. So don’t tell me I don’t eat right!
