What a perfect way to kick off 2015! We're excited to be co-hosting a Twitter party with the folks at Half Your Plate! Join us on January 15th at 9pm ET for a chat on the importance of filling half your plate with fruits and veggies, the best way to accomplish that, great prizes and lots of fun! Filling Half Your Plate with fruits and veggies is something everyone can get behind and do with a little help! It's a new healthy living initiative to encourage more Canadians to improve their health by thinking about their food consumption. Fruits and veggies can and should be integrated into every meal and snacks, so we'll be chatting about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables with creative ways to get them into your daily routine, at home, school, work, eating out or wherever you happen to be! We'll also be joined by nutrionist (RD) Zannat Reza of Food For Happiness.

I’m looking forward to my first Twitter party, on a subject that’s important to me – making lots of fruits and veggies a daily habit. When life gets hectic in our home, they’re the first casualty.
Great initiative!
