Whole Grain Awareness Challenge – GM Cereal Giveaway

Posted in Free Offers, Health & Wellness on February 27th, 2010 by redkathy – 46 Comments

general mills whole grainsJust last month General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single-digit grams of sugar per serving. Additionally, the company has been increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain. Having survived early morning dilemmas as a working mother, I was excited to share the news about General Mills. To understand my excitement, let me give you a little family history.  My mother was a stay at home mom. Her children ate a home cooked breakfast every morning… except for Saturday. Cartoons and sweet cereal; a treat for us kids and a break for mom. I am thankful that my mother taught us the importance of a good breakfast.   While I may not have cooked a meal in the morning, I did insist the boys ate a good breakfast. Of course, the breakfast tradition of cartoons and sweet cereal on Saturday morning continued in my house too! My boys, both grown men now, still enjoy cereal with breakfast and as a snack too.  Breakfast, Baking, & Saving was inspired in part, by that very news. And now General Mills has me really excited!! I received an opportunity to share the Big G Whole Grain Awareness Challenge and a “Grains of Goodness” gift pack here. Why all the whole grain hype? Read on to learn more about whole grains and how you can win a “Grains of Goodness” Gift Pack. read more »
