Cub Scout Cousin

If you're craving some tasty treats, why not help Cousin Jake support his local Cub Scout Pack? This is a great fundraiser where for each purchases between $6 and $35 goes directly to support local scouting. As always, there's more than just popcorn! Don't those chocolate covered pretzels look taaaaaaasty!! Maybe we should serve up a bowl at the Christmas party?!

I checked out the pdf attachment that Andy sent and the options seemed pretty healthy -- the products contain no trans fats, are low in sodium, and are made with canola oil. Did you know that canola oil is lower in saturated fat than other oils and is very high in healthy unsaturated fats?! It's also a good source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. These acids are important to ingest because the body doesn't produce them.

If you plan on buying popcorn at the grocery store this winter, save your self a trip and buy this healthier option. This would also make a good neighbor or teacher holiday gift!

Jake needs your orders by the first week of November to ensure that the snacks will arrive in time for the holidays.
