“TWEEKING” HELPS FIGHT HUNGER

FoodTweeks, a free app that combines weight management with feeding the hungry, announced that the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Orlando, FL has joined the ranks of FoodTweeks – affiliated food banks.

Each time a FoodTweeks user reports “tweeking” (cutting calories from their food), Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida will receive donations from FoodTweeks, enabling the food bank to distribute an equal number of nutritious calories to hungry families. Posting a “tweek” on Facebook or Twitter doubles or triples each donation. People using FoodTweeks simply tell the app what food they are thinking of buying, eating, or preparing. The app instantly displays images of suggested “tweeks” that remove enough calories to make a positive difference – but in a way that doesn’t change the taste or leave the user hungry.
