Introduction
I was logged into MySpace a few weeks ago and a friend of mine said shecouldn’t get her children to eat any sort of healthy foods. (According to herIM’s, her three young children would only eat cheeseburgers, French fries, icecream and maybe an apple once-a-week)She said she realized she needed some advice since she had just spent 25minutes earlier in the day finely chopping different fruits and vegetables andthem mixing them into her kid’s dinner. She did this to get her children to eathealthy without them knowing about the fruit and vegetables. She confessedshe had been doing this for the past few weeks.After reading her instant messages, I knew I had to do something. How couldany parent not feel what she was going through? She was willing to doalmost anything to get her kids to eat healthy.After spending the next few hours trading instant messages I decided tocompile a complete step-by-step guide to teach parents how to help theirchildren to eat healthy. Many of the ideas and concepts on this book are frommy personal experience, the USDA, several reliable and referenced sourcesand those few hours of trading healthy eating tips during the instantmessage session with my friend. This book provides a number of different ways to encourage children to eathealthy. It also contains over 4 dozen healthy recipes.So let’s get started…
