Florida mum on track for milk moustache fame
*Florida mum Ruth Tacks has won the chance to join famous Hispanic mums like actress and model Barbara Mori, singer Alicia Villarreal and TV personality Charityn as a star in the iconic US milk moustache campaign. * The competition was part of got milk?’s Hispanic campaign and Ruth stars in the ad with her three teenage sons: Alvaro David (19), Juan Diego (17) and José Daniel (15).
The purpose of the contest was to reward a special mum who understands the importance of drinking and serving milk to her family in order to stay healthy, strong and in shape. Ruth was selected as the contest winner because of her obvious dedication to her family's health.
When asked what it meant to be a ‘Super Mamá’, Ruth described it as "doing what's best for your family, including looking out for their nutrition. Ever since my boys were young, I instilled in them the nutritional benefits of low-fat milk. Today, my teenage boys are 19, 17 and 15 and I'm proud that they each still drink three glasses of milk a day."
