Make some changes in the New Year - win free breakfast cereal

We're all busy. Whether we're rushing out the door to get to work or get the kids off to school, the goal to find a healthy, quick breakfast is imperative.

Luckily General Mills understands the busy mom's desire to get a quick and healthy breakfast to her family.

General Mills announced that it is committed to reducing sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving.

Here is some interesting facts about cereals:

• 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.

• Ready-to-eat cereals, including pre-sweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets.


• 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.
