Line up the arrow with a food and the
calcium content shows in the window.
This may not be the message the people at Kraft want you to get from the Kids' Calcium Counter the company is giving away free as part of its national "Kick Up the Calcium" campaign.
More likely, they'd like you to notice that Kraft products such as processed cheeses are especially high in bone-building calcium
But anyway, the calcium counter uses a sliding placard within a simple cardboard jacket. Slide the placard so it points to the food item in question and the calcium content will show up in a little window.
The idea is to put together a daily menu of products that will meet a kid's need for 500 mg (toddlers) to 1,300 mg (teens) of calcium daily.
Call toll-free, (877) 878-6970 to have a calcium counter sent to you.
