Gloucester, Massachusetts (PRWEB) May 16, 2009
Only a few weeks remain to enter Gorton's Eat Smart Contest (http://www. gortons. com/smartcontest). Gorton's Eat Smart Contest asks parents to send in their favorite tip, recipe, or story, as well as a digital photograph showing how they got their kids to eat smart by eating seafood rich in omega-3s.
The "Eat Smart Contest" celebrates the launch of Gorton's new Smart & Healthy Kids microsite (http://www. gortons. com/smartkids). The site promotes the healthful benefits of omega-3s, gives smart tips for getting picky kids to eat more seafood, and has yummy kid-friendly recipes and information from Dr. Michael Crawford, PhD, CBiol, FIBiol, FRCPath a leading expert on brain health and development.
"We launched the Gorton's Eat Smart Contest to encourage parents to think creatively about how to serve seafood to their youngsters. We have been delighted with the entries so far. One mom told us about how she sets up a sampling display in order to encourage her kids to try new foods. Another mom created a shark hat and encouraged her son to wear it and gobble up the fish!" stated Zach Soolman, Director of Marketing. "We know there's still some great ideas out there and we want to hear about them."
The contest is open through June 10, 2009 and consumers may easily submit their creative ideas for dealing with their little picky eaters right online. Later in June, Gorton's will open up the contest to consumer voting on their web site (http://www. gortons. com/smartcontest).
