Consider it the biggest game of your life. Consider it a war.

I am referring to the fight against obesity and related illnesses, such as Type II Diabetes, kidney disease, blindness, peripheral vascular disease (limb loss), heart attack, stroke, cancer, arthritis, asthma. This doesn’t account for psychological and financial problems -- which may be severe.

Like any problems we face in life, it is much easier if we have someone with us. We want you to know, we are right along with you in this battle. We made Pro-Bites to be your TEAM SNACK! Not only does this apply to your team at school or during the summer, but your friends, neighbors, and any group of people with the same goal make up a team. Your family is the ultimate team.

We invite your team to join Roger Clemens and take the Pro-Bites Challenge: DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST!  You would think that would be easy, but it’s not. Over half of our population misses the most vital meal of the day. What’s the big deal in that, you ask?

Missing breakfast is a major contributing factor leading to obesity. It also causes decreased cognition (ability to think), behavioral problems, and poor school/job performance.

Now you have the power to take action. Busy lifestyles now have an option… Have a bag or two of Pro-Bites on your way to work or school, along with a carton of milk or juice. It’s easy!

What’s more, Pro-Bites are not just for breakfast! They are a healthy snack full of protein and vital nutrients -- at any time of day!

Munch on them with your lunch instead of chips, enjoy their crunchy flavor while watching TV or at the movies, or put them in your bag or tote for a nutritious pick-me-up while rushing between activities. You make the call… Pro-Bites are a delicious, satisfying and nutritious snack, any time of day!

One of the most important points to remember is to eat nutrient-dense foods and avoid nutrient-empty calories. Nutrient empty calories come from eating foods that have little or no value to your body, where most of the calories consumed will be stored as fat. On the other hand, nutrient dense foods provide ingredients necessary to fuel the body and help you achieve your goals. Pro-Bites are a great example of a nutrient dense food, as we supply protein and the iron your body needs.

In short, when eating, MAKE IT COUNT!

We ask you and your team to take the Pro-Bites Challenge. Don’t skip breakfast! Are you ready?

Sincerely,
