Why yes, that IS me eating a Pop Tart. I loooove them. And while I am usually a cereal kind of girl, some mornings you just need a special treat. So this morning, I had me one! And then, I shared my breakfast with Kellogg’s at their Share Your Breakfast web site. I uploaded this very hawt picture of myself to ShareYourBreakfast.com. Why? Well, obviously because it is a very gorgeous picture and could not be kept from the world. Duh. But ALSO, because for every breakfast shared at ShareYourBreakfast.com, Kellogg’s will donate the monetary equivalent of a school breakfast to Action for Healthy Kids, a non-profit organization that focuses on childhood obesity and malnourishment. One way they combat these problems is by providing funding to school districts to expand or initiate school breakfast programs.
So how can YOU Share Your Breakfast? It’s super-easy! Just upload a photo of your breakfast at ShareYourBreakfast.com. You don’t even have to be in the photo if you don’t want! Or, you can even text your photo and the word “Share” to 21534. Kellogg’s hopes to meet their goal of donation 1 million breakfasts to Action for Healthy Kids!! You can share your breakfast once a day, every day, through July 31, 2011.
Personally, I LOVE this program. Sophie, along with every other child at her school, receives a free breakfast at school. It’s great for families who struggle to put food on the table, and it’s great for my Sophie because she is a very picky eater but the breakfast menu at school is very varied and she is constantly introduced to new foods – something that it can be difficult for me to accomplish at home.
Want to find out more? I hope you’ll join me and some other great bloggers, as well as Trinh Le from Kellogg’s and Dr Reginald Washington, chairman of the board of Action for Healthy Kids, for a “Virtual Breakfast” chat on theMotherhood.com tomorrow, March 1, from 11:30-12:00 noon EST. You can RSVP for AND attend the talk at this link here. I hope you’ll join us!
Whether you can make the chat or not, please go to ShareYourBreakfast.com as often as you think of it, and tell your family and friends to share their breakfasts as well! Let’s give some school kids a nutritious, free start to their day!
