If we haven't mentioned it before, choosemyplate.gov is THE site to link up with for helpful tips and information on eating right for a healthy life.  Today we are featuring just one of the many things you can find on their site: their latest video challenge and the winners who are sharing how they eat more fruits and vegetables everyday.  Scroll to watch the winning videos!

About the Challenge
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) MyPlate Fruits and Veggies Video Challenge invites you to create short videos (approximately 30 seconds) showing how you’re adding fruits and vegetables to your diet without spending a lot of money. We encourage you to create videos that are inspiring and instructive — show a healthy tip that has worked for you and that you think can work for other people. Videos must be submitted in one of the following categories:

• Tips for kids

• Tips when eating at home

• Tips when eating away from home
