Barbara Schaffer despaired of ever teaching her daughter Jennifer to eat healthily. Jennifer insisted she hated vegetables and fussed about any meals that did not feature her favorite foods, which included calorie bombs like french fries, hot dogs, hamburgers, and fish sticks. Jennifer’s weight was rising steadily, and she was oftentimes tired and dragging by the end of the school day.
Barbara had tried everything from pleading to insisting that Jennifer stay at the table until the last soggy carrot was eaten, to no avail – until she bought a copy of "Healthy Eating for Kids."

"Healthy Eating for Kids" makes proper eating an adventure that children will actively enjoy. What child wouldn’t love to put together and devour an Edible Forest or a Happy Face Snack? For children, nutrition is an added bonus on top of finding new foods they love. For parents, seeing their kids gobble down fresh fruits and vegetables in the place of potato chips and cookies will be a great reward.
Food is not the only source of bad nutrition for kids. Children today are gulping down massive quantities of carbohydrates and calories in sodas and other syrupy-sweet drinks. "Healthy Eating" contains recipes for ten delicious, nutritious, and low-sugar drinks that will satisfy your child’s thirst in a healthy way. Kick…
