Healthy Foods for Kids
Do you have suggestions for teaching kids how to tell what foods are good and bad for them?
Simple techniques, I teach middle school kids. Dena. [via Ask Questions]
If it is sold in a bag, it is probably not good for them (even if it is organic). If it grows on a tree or comes from the land (think fruits and vegetables), it is good for them. A homemade meal (assuming it was made from quality ingredients), is good.
Commercially made meals (frozen dinners, precooked veggies, etc) and fast food, is not good for them. Anything in a bottle (even if it is organic green tea or organic juice) is not good for them. Water is great, tap water is usually better than bottled water.
