We need to teach the next generation the importance of  eating healthy natural foods. Kids are sponges, they absorb what they learn at a early age and these habits usually stick with them into adulthood. It is are responsibility as parents, teachers, coaches, and community members to ensure we stop the current trend of obesity and chronic disease occurring in our country. It amazes me that we still have soda machines, snack machines, and highly processed foods in every school in this country. Thier is nothing more important to your health than what you put into your body. You cannot rely on the school system to provide kids with the foods they need to to have a well balanced diet. Kids need fruits, vegetables, and natural foods, not a bunch of highly processed, sugary snacks.

Its that time of the year again when kids go back to school. Instead of ceral in the morning, try making them eggs and fruit. A healthy breakfast is very important to having energy to make it through the day. Encourage them to bring fruit, veggies, and nuts to snack on. Having a candy bar or some cheese sticks once in awhile is fine, but when kids live off these highly processed foods they start to develop problems. Until the food supply in the school system is completely revamped and healthier choices are available in abundance, we must all play a part in educating future generations.

You really are what you eat, so choose carefully!!
