The results are in... And one six year old had the right idea when it comes to making healthy choices. Get Smart North Dakota Fruits and Veggies, More Matters Tip Contest is picking Ethan Steckler's idea as the Bismarck winner. The statewide contest asks the public how they make sure to include more fruits and vegetables in their diets. Ethan's winning tip was simple- put fruits and vegetables on the counter. (Ethan Steckler / Contest Winner) So my sister can reach them. (Tanya Steckler / Ethan's Mom) I was surprised because when he put it down I thought that is a pretty simple answer. Maybe you need to embelish it a little bit. So when she said that is the reason he won, just put them on the cupboard, if they aren't there you can't eat them. So I was like you know that really does make sense. This is the first year for the contest. Wanda Agnew with Burleigh Public Health says they are planning on making the contest an annual event.  « Less
