McDonalds Happy Meals Chefs Contest Highlights National Nutrition Month

did you know that March is National Nutrition Month?

Well, neither did I until I heardabout the radio media tour we booked and ran with McDonald’s Executive Chef Dan Coudreaut. McDonald’s has joined the movement to help provide nutritious food choices to children through their new Happy Meal Chefs Contest. Chef Dan told interviewers “Families are invited to share their stories about nutritious fun at mealtime and they get a chance to help me create and test nutritious-minded Happy Meal choices.”

The tour was booked strongly and included 23 TV interviews. Chef Dan also told stations, “If you want kids to start eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, you’ve got to get them involved and engaged! Make mealtime fun for the whole family by growing your own fresh ingredients in a garden together or designating a family cooking day.” You can learn more about the contest and one lucky family will win a trip to the 2012 Olympic Games at www.happymealchefs.mcdonalds.com and you can hear the RNR from the tour at http://newsinfusion.com/events/happymealchef
