My Fit Foods™ Pays "Fit" Forward This September With Focus On Friends And Charity

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthy eating is taking on a whole new meaning of "feel good," with My Fit Foods' "Pay Fit Forward" campaign.

"My Fit Foods is committed to making healthy flavorful meals convenient and accessible for everyone," said David Goronkin, CEO of My Fit Foods.
