Arkansas Winner of Contest Wins Free Stevia
CONGRATULATIONS JOAN KATILUS
Joan Katilus of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas won the August 2008 contest and won a free 1 oz. bottle of liquid Stevia, a $18.50 retail value. The contest was to write in 50 words or less why you should be chosen to win the contest.
Joan's entry was:
"I have eaten sugar my whole life. Sugar is in almost everything and I never really realized not only how harmful it is, but that there is a natural alternative. I'm interested in having Stevia be my substitute for sugar. My sugar products are going into the trash can."
I chose Joan because I think it is great that she finally is aware of a natural and healthy alternative to sugar. She is taking immediate action upon the new information that she has about the harmful affects of sugar. She's right about the sugar belonging in the trash can.
As the winner Joan won:
- A 1 oz. bottle of liquid Stevia, a $18.50 retail value...
