I found this book through Smile.ly and I loved it. It was a super freebie that I would have bought it was that good. I am a big reader and this was my kind of book. It is a great story of triumph through hard times with good food and family. It is a nice weekend book and a sweet gift to encourage anyone who has been laid off or who is looking for work.

ShopRite and Cheerios Expressions of Hunger Contest-Help Others!
ShopRite has joined forces with Cheerios to sponsor a contest called Expressions of Hunger. This local video contest encourages every day people -- from classrooms to choirs, families to friends -- to creatively share their perspective on the issue of hunger through song, dance, poetry or dramatic reading.
You could be one of six (individuals or groups) to be featured on a limited-edition Cheerios box and have your video featured on the ShopRite Partners In Caring website (http://www.shopritepartnersincaring.org/).

In addition, ten honorable mention winners will receive a new video camera!
With nearly 50 million Americans, including 17 million children, suffering from food insecurity last year, a 36 percent increase from the year before, leading nutrition and food policy expert Marion Nestle has identified “hunger” as one of the leading food issues of 2010. However, it’s not always easy to put a “face” on the devastating effects of hunger. Through creative expression, ShopRite Partners in Caring hopes this contest can not only raise awareness but propel people to get involved.
If you would like to take a look at some example entries, you may visit the Expressions of Hunger web site: http://www.expressionsofhunger.com/.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters?
Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.
Other cereal benefits:
*Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.
A REALLY surprising factoid: Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.
*More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.
Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.
For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness. Right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals.
This great information and the coupons have been generously provided by General Mills cereals through MyBlogSpark.
