Why Whole Foods are Good for Breakfast
Chef Curtis Stone has partnered with Post Great Grains Cereal to spread his whole-food philosophy starting with breakfast, the most important meal of the day.
In a national advertising campaign breaking this month, Stone shows that not all whole grain cereal flakes are created equal and talks about the importance of eating less-processed whole grains for better nutrition.
Breakfast buffs and whole-foods enthusiasts are invited to join Curtis in the movement to “Keep it Whole” and in a live video chat over breakfast on Wednesday, April 20th at 10:00am E.T. at www.facebook.com/GreatGrains.
