Face the Challenge… Find the Results

In a day where families are struggling to make ends meet, hearing conflicting messages from experts about how to eat and what to feed their families, all while the hours of the day seem to be getting shorter and more condensed with all that has to be done in a single day… there has to be an answer!

Schools are cutting back on their lunch programs, families are forced to go through drive-through fast food restaurants, while the cost of wheat and other food staples are on the rise.

Part of the series can tie into how kids can choose healthy foods when out to dinner, at school, or at their friends parties.
