Eat Better America – With a Little Help From General Mills
March 26, 2007 – 21:36 pm
I think I have uncovered one of those “facts of life” that you hear so much about. It seems that every time you have a birthday that ends with a zero, your body changes (usually not in a good way). The best description of this phenomenon I have every heard goes something like this, “I used to be able to stop exercising for a month and get back in shape in a week. Now, if I take a week off, it takes me a month to get back in shape!” I don’t know about you but I need all the help I can get to keep the weight off and keep my body in decent condition.
Well, General Mills has launched a great new website that I think will be very useful for anyone who is fighting the “battle of the bulge.” The new site is called Eat Better America and it offers fitness and health tips, healthy recipes and a support community. There’s also a feature called “Healthify My Recipe” where you can submit your favorite recipes for a healthy makeover. So far, they’ve healthified recipes for french toast, macaroni and cheese, lasagna, and a few others. The recipes are chosen from among user entries and posted on a monthly basis. Just click on the “recipes” section of the site to see all of the great makeovers.
This is a nice, clean looking website, with a Flash-like appearance, that is loaded with great information for the entire family. Check it out.
