It has become common knowledge that childhood obesity rates
are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise.
And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth
that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy
foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting
the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits? As
a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all
parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal
nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war
against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional
saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents
who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest
(and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus
operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that
kids love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies
hidden in them so kids don't even know! With the help of a
nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed
a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes,
for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale
in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and
humorous personal anecdotes, tear-out shopping guides to
help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how
to deal with the kid that "must have" the latest sugar bomb
cereal. But this book also contains much more than
recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level
for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that
surround childhood obesity and its long-term (and ruinous)
effects on the body. With the help of a prominent
nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of
information related to kids' nutrition so parents understand
why it's important to throw in a little avocado puree into
their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of
portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must
have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in
the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6
fats. Jessica Seinfeld's book is practical,
easy-to-read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their
kids to be healthy for a long time to come.
