A Payoff for Eating Right   -Milwaukee Journal article by James E Causey

Girl and boy eating burgers

Damontre Boothe works carefully as he crushes black beans with his hands into a bowl. He mixes in cilantro and onions, preparing the black-bean burger with a side salad that stands in stark contrast to the big bag of potato chips, soda and doughnuts that used to be his preferred fare.  -

MY COMMENT:  Good to see some kids waking up and not taking their health for granted.  Great program at the Mary Ryan Boys and Girls Club called Eat Right. 

Interesting that Coka-Cola has been providing financial support to the Boys and Girls Club of America since 1946 for a number of programs.    “From homework assistance programs to physical fitness, nutrition and social recreation initiatives, these activities have helped kids grow into productive adults whose contributions make a positive difference in our communities every day.

Good for them!
