Feeding children can, indeed, be a less than joyous experience. There's whining. There's mess. And there's guilt. Are they eating enough? Too much? Are they eating the right things? What are the right things? Too often, harried parents are tempted to take the path of least resistance and feed their kids what other parents seem to be feeding their kids: chicken fingers and fries.

The basic requirements generally include mailing in a brief form, a UPC barcode from the package and a receipt proving that you bought the product. Years ago companies also required shoppers to mail in a stamped, self-addressed envelopes, but I rarely see that requirement anymore.
