Finally a book that reflects our approach to food! October 12, 2008
I was given this book and didn't know what to expect. I started reading and couldn't put it down because it was a reflection of our approach to eating - whole/real foods with a minimum amount of processed items. I agree that eating healthy is an INVESTMENT and a balancing act. It may cost more to buy wild fish and mostly organic food but if you look in the average shopper's cart the amount of processed/quick foods are really more costly to ones health (and sometimes more costly to the pocketbook too). I don't go as far as making protein smoothies for my 3 yr old but he eats what we eat and that includes "ethnic" food, spicy food, kale, lentils, whole grain bread, plus all the healthy stuff that most toddlers won't touch. We don't buy mac'n cheese, hot dogs, cereal bars (really just candy bars in disguise), instant oatmeal, and you know what? He doesn't know to ask for this stuff and doesn't have a palate for it. I highly recommend reading this book BEFORE baby starts solids as there are a lot of strategies and recommendations for how to untrain a child's already formed palate for fast/processed/junky food. Better to start anew and keep it like that for as long as possible. I cannot recommend this book to new parents enough.

What a great topic April 22, 2008
An all too important topic that we think we know about, but in reading you discover how we really don't know enough. Great resource.

Very practical book March 30, 2008
This book invites you to offer yourself and your children a healthier way of eating. It is very practical: I enjoyed the many lists it contains, the copies hang in my kitchen!

Best for you Your Family / Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood... February 18, 2008
I first read this book from our local library. Loved it so much - I bought it as a reference. It is packed with life changing easy to read information to improve your and your family's food habits. A good portion of American health problems stems from our use of processed and trans fat laden foods. What can we do to make changes to give our families a better chance at life? We do not have to buy and feed our families this junk! Read the book to learn how to reverse damage and improve your and your family's health. Your gut will thank you. Behaviors will improve or will be eliminated in ADD children by improving nutrition. Read for scientific basis.br /Debunking fad diets Dr. Sears (with support from many other Dr. Sears), informs reader of a healthy life change of eating. This does not mean removing the joy of eating. But it does offer ways to reduce risk of cancer, diabetes etc. This book also includes 11 ways to feed growing brains - a must for all parents! Very good informative reading!! Thank you Dr. Sears and family! Happy reading.

Good information but sexist February 12, 2008
I enjoyed the information in the book, extremely helpful for getting your family on track nutritionally. I was very disappointed in a book written in 2006 reinforcing such rigid gender stereotypes. In the food shopping with your kids section, Dr. Sears tells his son that "the dark green one will help you run really fast." he then tells his daughter that "it will give you prettier hair and sharper eyes." Come on! This is ridiculous! It's the 21st century and we still have people telling our boys to be strong and our girls to be pretty?! I would expect better from Dr. Sears.
