Giveaway: Eat Better America $25 Grocery Gift Card CLOSED

One of the hardest things to do as a mother, for me, is to ensure that I am teaching my kids healthy eating habits.  I try to make sure that they eat balanced diets, along with a variety of fruits and vegetable.  Thankfully, my kids make this job fairly easy.  But, I am always on the look-out for new ways to make healthy eating a lifestyle in our home.  If you struggle with this also, then check out this Eat Better America website, sponsored by General Mills.

Here is some information about the Eat Better America initiative from there site:  Created and funded by Minneapolis-based General Mills, eatbetteramerica.com is designed for people who are increasingly interested in the impact food has on their health and crave simple, easy-to-understand health and nutritional information. But we know that too often, nutritional information can be confusing or a little difficult to follow. As one of the leading food companies in the world, we saw the need for a simple, straightforward website that makes eating better easier and more fun.

We have created a site where people can learn from experts, as well as folks just like them, about how healthy eating habits and easy-to-follow exercise tips can help enrich life. So, now, you’re not alone in this quest. In addition to our own experts at the Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition, we’ve brought in outside experts to provide a richer, more comprehensive, and more importantly, more entertaining site.

And because eatbetteramerica.com is about helping everyone in America eat better, we’ve designed our kitchens to reflect today’s cooking needs and lifestyles. We use the same healthy ingredients and state-of-the-art appliances and equipment to test thousands of recipes every year.

General Mills is proud to support many of the world’s most trusted and respected brands. Brands like Green Giant, Yoplait Yogurt, Cheerios, organics Cascadian Farm and Muir Glen. In addition, we offer a long list of products that are working every day to nourish your taste buds, your mind and your body.

Please join in and help us as we work to create a useful and fun place that enables you not only to enjoy what you eat, but feel even better about the food decisions you make.

  3. Ellen Ring says

    I quit stocking up on junk food suchas chips & ice cream. WE now eat a lot more fruit and veggie sticks for snacks. I do get yogurt to fill in for the ice cream.

  5. peggy bauer says

    We sit down to a cooked meal as a family every night to cut down on fast food use and I try to intercept the younger kids when I hear them open the refrigerator.

  7. SANDY says

    buying less junk food- less chips and processed foods and more fresh meats and vegies

  9. Carol says

    This year my husband and I decided to avoid buying as much processed foods as possible, and we cut way back on red meat too.

  17. Tari L. says

    I keep fresh fruit on the counter and healthy snacks like hummas, yogurt and cheeses in the fridge.

  18. Kristi C says

    I keep fresh fruit and vegetables handy and replaced potato chips with pretzels.

  27. McKim says

    I have started making more homemade snacks instead of store bought with all the additives.

  29. Sarah Hirsch says

    I don’t buy junk food, and if my kids want chips or something like that, we only buy the kind that has a serving veggies baked in.

  30. Sharon B says

    I try to always have carrots and tiny tubs of humus. I also have good, crunchy Fuji apples on hand. And I “forget” to buy ice cream or junk food sometimes.

  31. Kristi says

    We started a gardern. It is way more fun to eat healthy when we grow the food. :)

  38. Tracy Robertson says

    I have been buying fresh strawberries and washing and cutting the tops off and putting them back in the fridge. I notice that my family eats them a lot more than if they had to go to the trouble of washing and stemming them themselves.

  40. Cheryl says

    I’ve switched from white bread to whole grain breads, and everyone likes it.

  41. Joannie says

    My family eats better because we’ve stopped by packaged, processed food and instead eat whole grains, fruits veggies, beans, nuts, seeds, fish, and other natural foods.

  44. Patrice says

    I try not to buy many potato chips or other similar snack foods, and make sure that there are always a lot of fresh fruits and veggies to snack on instead.

  47. Stephen Saunders says

    Just today actually I disposed of the oil in the deep fryer and will be placing it in storage. :)

  50. Wanda says

    I make meat an ingredient rather than the main attraction by using in in veggie-heavy dishes like beef stew.
