SunRype Just Fruit & Grains bar

Whether it’s packing lunches or pulling together stroller snacks, coordinating snacks can be one of mom’s worst jobs. When we’re so busy, it’s hard to make healthy food choices while rushing to get out the door.

momstown has found the perfect portable snack that both you and your child will love because it’s delicious, full of fibre, free of added sugar (unlike many granola-type bars), and super portable to bring along.

 

SunRype has launched their new Just Fruit & Grains bars and they are exactly that – just fruit & grains!


•    They’re the perfect balance of 70% fruit or fruit and veggies and 30% grains and seeds, with nothing else added
•    Each bar has 2-3 grams of fibre which helps keep you full and satisfied
•    Nut free (perfect to send to school or bring along to a momstown program)
•    A nutrient-dense snack will give you anyone in the family a quick nutritious fix – a double bonus as one snack for everyone!

What's On Your Plate?

Do you ever wonder where your dinner comes from? Actually consider how that beef or chicken was raised?

In all honesty, I haven’t. I am happy to have fit in grocery shopping so I can make dinner! Eating a hot meal in a busy household can feel like a luxury so analyzing the food and its history, hasn’t been a priority for me. Besides this city girl just likes to eat dinner, plain and simple, I haven't been wondering what my pork chop was doing when it was walking around...

farm animals

Then a story  came across my desk from the World Society for the Protection of Animals that made me do a little thinking about the lifestyle of farm animals, before they were dinner.


Did you know most farm animals live in extremely cramped conditions? They are fed unnatural diets, antibiotics and many suffer painful mutilations like de-beaking and tooth breaking so they can be kept at huge numbers on factory farms? I didn’t know.


Did you know you can actually make more humane food choices when we shop and eat (such as choosing pasture-raised animal products, cage-free eggs, etc.)?  I didn’t know that either.  We can use our purchasing power to change the conditions in which farm animals live.


You can vote with your choices for more human farming practices and by take this pledge and commit to making life better for farm animals.


As a thank you for taking the pledge,  you can “Farmify” your face, and share the fun photo with your social networks, friends and family to indicate you care for farm animals and directly about the animals who will become our future meals.

 

WSPA

The World Society for the Protection of Animals, has worked to expose animal cruelty and prevent animal suffering for more than 30 years. Working with individuals, organizations and governments across the globe, their campaigns range from ending the mass suffering of industrially farmed animals to protecting animals in disasters.
