She runs the website Snack-Girl.com. She also wrote a book Snack-Girl to the Rescue. She went to General Mills to speak to the president of cereal. She asked why "Lucky Charms" are so unhealthy for children. He replied that they have "Kix" are healthier. Lisa said, "this looks like dog kibble!" Lisa received a Phd in 1997 in Biological Science from University of Georgia. She moved to San Francisco in 1998 for the "dot com" revolution to change things in the world. It collapsed. Lisa met her husband and they decided to start a business. They developed the website "Baby food 101". It was a guide to making your own baby food. It is up. She looked into making a website about making a website about snacks...thus " "Snack-Girl.com". It was difficult to start a business in San Fransisco. They looked all over the world...And then they chose Amherst, Massachusetts !!! Why Amherst? Many people are progressive; great schools - (clean and loving environments)- the perfect place for children; Her husband loves the trails; real estate more reasonable ( compared to S.F. ,etc) ; -and it is close to Boston & New York. Because the website was so successful, she was asked to write a book.. It is titled, "Snack-Girl to the Rescue." Several people ordered her book. She promised to sign and send next week! Tina Berins won the wine and Allen Hanson won the money. Andrea Battle, your less than adequate scribe...please get well Linda- you are missed. |
