Spreadin’ the Word: Newman’s Own

Yep, you read that right.  Newman’s Own, you know, the Paul New­man food products?

It’s time to start doing some posts for Spreadin’ the Word.  Need to know what that is?  Check it out here.

I have not been approached by Newman’s Own to do a fea­tured post.  This is purely on my own accord that I decided it war­ranted a Spreadin’ the Word spot.

MM and I like to watch Biggest Loser.  It reminds us that we need to be dili­gent with our food intake and we like to cheer peo­ple on as they grasp a hold of the issues in their lives con­tributed to the weight they carry.

In March 2012, Biggest Loser fea­tured Newman’s Own and it’s part­ner­ship with Feed­ing Amer­ica.  They will have seg­ments through­out each episode that is prod­uct place­ment and paid spon­sor­ship.  How­ever, with Newman’s Own I don’t think any­thing was paid.

What caught our eye and why are you read­ing about it here of all places?  I was floored when I learned that Newman’s Own doesn’t make ANY PROFIT.  They DONATE all prof­its.  How cool is that?  They have donated more than 330 Mil­lion Dol­lars since 1982.

I am not always in the posi­tion to donate as I would like, so what bet­ter way to con­tribute how I can?

On top of that, their ingre­di­ents are ALL NATURAL.  They have a new LITE salad dress­ing line too.  You can read all the ingre­di­ents when you click on each product.

Now do you see why I thought it would be worth­while to do a Spreadin’ the Word fea­ture for Newman’s Own?  This prod­uct will be one of my “go-to” items for salad dress­ing, lemon­ade, pop­corn, spaghetti sauce, & even cereal (I didn’t know they had cereal!).

I’m all about sup­port­ing a busi­ness that GIVES AWAY it’s profit, uses only nat­ural ingre­di­ents & cares about my family’s nutrition…plus it tastes good too!

What about you? Is there a product/business you appre­ci­ate?  Don’t for­get, you can nom­i­nate one for a Spreadin’ the Word Fea­ture anytime!

 

All you pin­ners out there…I’ve got a com­mu­nity board, Pinned there, done that, you might be inter­ested in par­tic­i­pat­ing.  Come over an join us!
