Milk Mustache Tour

Encouraging Moms to ‘Milk the Moment’

The 2010 Milk Mustache Mobile Tour Urges Families to Build Strong Families. Studies show that when kids eat dinner with their families, they’re more likely to have nutritious diets, healthier weights and do better in school. Research also shows that they have higher fruit, vegetable and calcium intakes than their peers. However, many Americans are still not regularly sitting down for dinner together – and when they are, the nutrient value of the meal may be lacking, especially when it comes to what’s in their glass. In recent years, soft drinks and sugary fruit drinks have been edging out milk at mealtime, but these drinks do not provide the nutrients families need.  

What special moments do your family share around the dinner table and how are you serving milk at dinnertime? Milk the moment; the easy and affordable way to help make sure your family gets the nutrition they need. Not sure how to incorporate milk into your daily meals: Click here for great recipes!  

How the Reed’s “Got Milk?”

What is more heavenly then a tall frosted glass of milk… with cookies or a simple peanut butter sandwhich! The Reed’s don’t buy soft drinks unless it’s a birthday party, and we don’t let the kids drink juices all day. We mainly drink water and milk in our home because we don’t want our children drinking unhealthy options, which are mainly built up from sugar. You may catch Robyn dipping her peanut butter sandwhich in her glass of milk and then you may see me giving her a reminder to rinse out that very glass! Cookie dippers, milk sippers… the Reeds love milk!  

Not only are we providing healthier options for our children by drinking milk, but we sit together as a family for dinner a few nights a week. Doing so builds bonds, healthier relationships, and it encourages the kids to eat and not play at the kitchen table. My father always tells me, “A family that eats together stays together!” Isn’t that reason enough to eat together and to incorporate milk into your meals?
