WHAT: The Mangos family entered the photo contest by submitting a creative snapshot of their gang choosing nutrient-rich milk. As part of a nationwide education campaign, the nation's milk processors launched the Think About Your Drink Family Challenge encouraging families around the country to make milk their beverage of choice. The Mangos family will receive the royal treatment with healthy chef-prepared meals, along with a glass of milk, delivered to their house for an entire week! WHERE: Visit http://www.thinkaboutyourdrink.com to check out Family Challenge winning photo entries and utilize tools to help you and your loved ones make better beverage choices. Plus, you can also get a free, personalized nutrition analysis of your daily drinks and see how beverage choice can impact the nutrition of a typical family dinner. WHY: Over the past decade, milk at dinner has steadily declined and today nearly 60 percent of children's dinners do not include milk, according to new findings from The NPD Group(1). Many experts are concerned, especially since the percentage of overweight American children and teens has tripled in the last two decades and a recent report called What America Drinks(2) suggests that beverage choice may impact weight and the overall quality of the diet. Research shows drinking the recommended three servings of lowfat or fat free milk everyday is an important part of a healthy diet for parents and their kids, and may also contribute toward maintaining a healthy weight(3-9).
