CARTOON OF THE DAY: The Flibber Flabber Diet

Apparently, the pop-culture phenomenon of being thin has invaded the cartoon world: Has anyone tried the Flibber-Flabber diet?

Truffles, the wife of a master chief Mung, decides after knocking over a village that she'll put everyone in her household on a diet after gaining weight from eating Mung's food. Not only does she make it a contest to see who will lose the most weight, she also challenges Mung to make healthier food. My favorite character on the Chowder TV series (I know it's a kid's show, but I'm a big one at heart) is Schnitzel. The cartoon makes fun of the oftentimes fad diets we put ourselves on to see how long we can last at eating healthy.

You can't argue with a body this gorgeous. Award-winning actress Salma Hayek gives fans a playful behind-the-scenes look at the way she and her family start each day in her latest ad with the National Milk Mustache “got milk?” campaign.

Salma is next starring in the film Grown Ups 2 (with Adam Sandler) this July. The mother to five-year-old Valentina, she’s also currently producing the animated feature The Prophet

As part of the ongoing “got milk?” campaign, Salma’s third ad reveals her secret to fueling active successful days – starting every day with milk’s high-quality protein. The ad copy reads “Protein makes perfect. got milk? Nourish every day.”


Salma knows one of the best ways to be sure her family has energy and valuable nutrients they need to take on the day is by serving milk at breakfast. An 8 oz. glass of milk is packed with nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein. Protein at breakfast can help power you through the morning. Milk is a delicious, easy and affordable way to send your kids out the door with what they need to start the day off right.
