While adults preferred 3 components and 3 colors on their plates, children preferred 7 components and 6 colors, more than double the adult preference of 3!

A 1-cup serving of Honey Smacks contains more sugar than a Hostess Twinkie, and 1 cup of any of 44 other children's cereal has more sugar than 3 Chips Ahoy! cookies! Yikes!!!

One of my first attempts to get the kids to help me make dinner, with the plan to get them to try what they made, that didn't work out, but we made one heck of a beef stew. See the blog to get the link to the recipe!

In the United States, where almost two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese, you’d think that people would be more sensitive to those who struggle with their weight. But unfortunately, discrimination of obese people continues and can have lasting impacts on physical and emotional health. And this poor treatment begins early. One study published in the journal Pediatrics found that obese children are 65% more likely to be bullied than their normal weight peers. Thinking that your child may be taunted or teased at school because of their weight is heart-breaking; no parent wants their child to be made fun of or humiliated.
