(BPT) - Upwards of 100 million viewers will tune in to watch a professional sporting event this winter and spring season. As the fans wait for those historic moments of triumph and dramatic play-by-play recaps, they also partake in a celebration of food and feasting at halftime, and throughout the game.
Wings, onion rings, fries and potato skins get a lot of play when it comes to deciding what to serve for the big game. But there’s more to be said in favor of munching on a wholesome game-time snack, where the only numbers you need to worry about are on the scoreboard, rather than the calories on a nutrition label.
