I'm so sorry about my late posts, I am trying to get better.. We have seen TREMENDOUS growth this year, and have been so behind blogging, something I try not to neglect...
I will cut to the chase, I've been thinking a lot about kids and food in America. With the rise of obesity and heart diseases, I've been so passionate about seeing kid eat better. What can we do as parents to instill healthy eating habits? I think it needs to start with parents... We need to eat better! I don't mean to be preaching to the choir, but the other day when I was at my son's school, I saw these poor overweight kids drinking chocolate milk, eating canned corn and beans, and downing slice of greasy pizza (yuck). They all threw their salads away. I was so sick to my stomach, I went right up to the trash can as the kids were throwing away their salads, and told them to take it back and finish their vegetables or they will not go out to play.. well.. you don't know what happened next.
The truth is, we are FATTENING our kids and it is our fault! I am guilty of this too, and we need to stop being so busy, and start cooking for our future generation of kids, teaching them about health and good eating habits..
