BagOfLife™ Program
EatHealthyToday™
The national unemployment rate breached the 10% mark and the resulting poverty rate has escalated past 15% of the population – roughly one in seven. These conditions have increased the rate of ‘food insecurity.’ During any given month, families will be out of food and forced to miss meals. Unfortunately, 20% of the children and an increasing number of seniors suffer from malnutrition, resulting in an unprecedented rise in such illnesses as heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. A key reason is the massive consumption of poor-nutrition foods. It’s important to change the way America eats.
The BagOfLife™ program provides nutritious, tasty, and easy to prepare meals:
-
GrandHotCereal

SoupofLife – Indian, Italian, Latin
-
LeanMeanBeanProtein – Indian, Italian, Latin
- NuttyQuinoaPilaf – Indian, Italian, Latin
We taste-tested the dishes at Home Start and North Roseville REC Center (Roseville, CA) and received most favorable responses – many children came back for second and third servings; parents were surprised and very pleased with their children’s reaction.
These dishes are designed to provide high quality protein, complex carbohydrates, and fiber. To prepare any of the dishes, simply add water and cook.
The bags are distributed free of cost to low income families through social service organizations.
