KIND Snacks

KIND snacks are a wholesome and delicious snack, and they are also gluten free and non Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). The public relations students here at Ohio Northern University are doing a KIND Snacks "No Compromises" Campaign. The goal of this campaign is not only to encourage healthy eating, but also to inspire individuals to do the kind thing for their body.

KIND snacks are not only gluten free and non GMO, but they also contain ingredients you can not only see, but pronounce.The bars also contain five super grains, which are gluten free oats, millet, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat. In each bar there is about 18 grams of whole grain with a perfect blend of a chewy, yet a crunchy texture. A few of the different bars are the Fruit and Nut Bars, the KIND Healthy Grains Clusters and Bars, a snack called STRONG & KIND, KIND ® Breakfast Bars and KIND Healthy Grain Bars.

My family eats gluten free, as both my sister and my mom get sick when they eat gluten. Since we are gluten free, KIND snacks can almost always be found in our pantry, as the KIND brand is one of the few granola bar brands that is gluten free. I was first introduced to KIND snacks this past summer, by my mom, when we were grocery shopping and trying to find a quick and easy snack I would be able to bring with me on my travels to Chicago. My personal favorite of the KIND snacks are the pooped Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt bars. I would recommend KIND snacks to anyone who is looking for a healthy snack to eat on the go, but is also looking for a different type of snack compared to the original Quaker granola bars.

The students involved in this campaign have been gathering data from surveys by asking students how much they know about KIND snacks, if anything at all. These surveys are giving the students involved in this campaign a baseline to start at. The KIND motto is, do the kind thing for your body, do the kind thing for your taste buds and do the kind thing for your world.

Football Saturday

Being from Michigan, yesterday was the infamous Michigan vs Michigan State football game. Every year this game is always a big deal, but this year it was even bigger because both teams were ranked in the top 25. This game was also voted college gameday for the week.

The game started off slow and was scoreless after the first quarter. The game was like any other, tough defense and the ever so famous big brother, little brother arguments on the field. In the second quarter there was a bit more action and at half time the score was 10 to 7 with Michigan in the lead. Michigan continued with their lead throughout the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter the score was 20 to 14 Michigan. When the fourth quarter started, the tempo of the game continued. Michigan scored a field goal and Michigan State scored a touchdown. With 10 seconds left in the game, all Michigan had to do was punt the ball and stop Michigan State in the one or two plays they would have. If you didn't watch the game, I recommend you watch the video below, as an explanation of this play can't be explained. Within these 10 seconds, Michigan State ended up scoring a touchdown, taking the lead for the first time in the game and winning the game.

Being a Michigan State fan, the ending of this game was unbelievable and I will gladly take the win,

especially against Michigan. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be at this game. The faces on Michigan fans throughout the stadium was priceless, especially the fan on the right. I truly believe that this fan has made it on every news station with his reaction to the play.

I can't wait for more football Saturday's and hope my team is able to pull off a victory, but I hope they are able to do it without having to wait until the last 10 seconds to make it interesting.
