What's in Your Food?

Hello Everyone,

What a day yesterday!
Snow, snow, and more snow.
If you had some where you are, please be careful out there, it’s awfully slippery today!
I was looking forward to sharing some amazing photos from our ScavHunt list but as mother nature will have it, I got snowed in and spent most of the day with my friends in the media. And that’s how today’s theme, “What’s in your food?” evolved.

First lady Michelle Obama has kicked off her "Let's Move" drive. The agenda of nutrition and exercise programs is designed to eliminate "the epidemic of childhood obesity" in the younger generation. As part of this initiative, Michelle is asking that schools get more funding so they can “take out the deep fryers,” and serve students with more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. She has also enlisted professional athletes to run sports clinics across the nation.
Mrs. Obama is also pushing to get food makers and vendors to voluntarily make their food healthier or at least label it better so people can make informed choices. Speaking of which, I did a little research to see what the issue is with fries and burgers. Take a look at what I found:

Okay, but I’m no food purist – I absolutely enjoy my fries and burgers when I can. But these videos did get me thinking…

What’s on your plate today?
