I can EDUCATE to help end hunger

General Mills has been on a journey to provide people with the best nutrition they can get from their foods. More than that, they have partnered with Feeding America to help raise awareness about our country's food crisis. Many people are unaware that there is an issue that close to home, but a child could be going hungry as close as the house next door to them. 1 in 7 people will struggle to get enough to eat. 1 in 5 children have no idea when their next meal will be. Working with groups that collect and donate food, and food banks simply isn't enough sometimes, and they surely cant do it alone. People need to know that there is a hunger crisis plaguing America.

September is Hunger Action Month as well as National Whole Grain Month, the connection goes deeper than simply the label of "food". Hunger can be more than simply being hungry, children across the world have stomachs full but bodies that remain weak and lacking in nutrients needed for average and healthy growth. General Mills knows that 95% of Americans wont get the recommended 48 grams of whole grains in their diet, and they have worked hard to provide more ready to eat cereals with Whole Grain as the first ingredient than any other cereal producer in the U.S. Ensuring that customers get the nutrition they need. To help raise awareness for Hunger Action Month, General Mills sent me a farmer style hat, on which I wrote my commitment as to how I could help end world hunger. For National Whole Grain Month, I was given a harvest themed box of Cheerios (My second favorite only to Cinnamon Toast Crunch) and on the box was the process that grain goes through to become cereal. I also received a divided and labeled food groups plate to remind me what is needed and how much, and a booklet that features information on whole grains, as well as recipes that will help ensure the right amount of whole grain at every meal. 

 

General Mills has pledged to continue their journey to offer its customers the best they can give, removing things that people want to avoid and making sure the nutrients you need are in their products. They want to be a company you can be proud of, and will continue to strive to give you many reasons to be.
