Organic or regular baby food? White or wheat bread? Yogurt or ice cream? Parents often wonder how best to feed their families, but the wondering is over with IThe Family Nutrition Book: Everything You Need to Know About Feeding Your Children--From Birth Through Adolescence/I. The beloved William Sears and his wife, Martha (a nurse), teach you how to become your own family nutritionist. Parents of eight children and well-known authors of more than a dozen childcare books, the Searses offer the solid advice on breastfeeding, beginning solids, and feeding picky eaters you'd expect. But more than that, they provide a crash course in overall nutrition. You'll learn how the body works, how to read food labels, what ingredients to look for (and which to avoid), how to trim fat from your diet, what makes up a balanced diet (not just the "food pyramid"), which foods are thought to prevent cancer, and more. The Searses also offer helpful food lists: good fats, best proteins, top 10 complex carbohydrates, and top 12 family foods, to name a few. You'll even get favorite Sears family recipes to help you get started on the road to healthy eating. It's all here, and it's all mixed with a healthy dose of passion for eating well. So you can show your children--by example--how to stay healthy and feel great. I--Kelley Smith/I

I love Dr. Sears, but this is not his area of expertise November 22, 2008
I am a big fan of the Sears Parenting Library. This is a great book for parents needing ideas on getting their family to eat healthier. It is a good start for families who eat too much junk- and fast-food. It emphasizes whole foods in their natural state, which I wholeheartedly agree with.br /br /I love the Sears family for promoting Attachment Parenting and helping parents make informed decisions regarding their children's health. However, this book does not bring anything new to the table in terms of scientific information on nutrition. It holds the party line on popular nutritional myths, like saturated fats being dangerous and animal meats being unhealthy. Science and history do not support these conclusions. On the contrary, saturated fats are especially essential to children's development, and consumption of animal foods is the only way to ensure proper levels of certain critical nutrients.br /br /For parents interested in the very latest on raising healthy children from preconception forward, I recommend Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6) by Ramiel Nagel.br /

Well explained and easy to read October 19, 2008
I can't praise this book enough. It explains, in detail, why certain things are worse for you than others (i.e. hydrolized fats, refined carbs, etc). The chapter are short and structured well so you can finish a chapter quickly and if you leave the book and come back there are no problems understanding what you read.

Straight forward and realistic September 6, 2008
This book is great. I appreciate the thorough information it gives you to really have a good understanding of how different foods cause your body to respond. It also gives straight forward advice on substitutions and recipes that are realistic for a family to use.

Best Book Ever February 20, 2007
I'm a big reader and this is BY FAR the best book I have read ever!! There's a lot of information in it so get your highlighter out and highlight top points to help remember. There is so much information about becoming more nutritious but Sears simplifies it in a way that you will completely understand. He teaches you how to read lables and shows you how the market tries to trick you with their nutritional labels on the product. I actually got angry with the market a few times because I thought I was eating a healthy product but in fact it wasn't any better than the origina. I recommend this book to ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY whether or not you have children. You will have a completely different look upon nutrition after reading this book. Loved it!!
