Shape your child's tastes and metabolism for optimal health! Raising healthy kids is harder than it used to be. Fast-food restaurants are everywhere, junk food is served in schools, and high-risk sweeteners and trans-fats abound in snacks marketed directly to children. Illnesses among children--from depression to diabetes, from limited attention spans to cholesterol imbalance--have reached an all-time high, and this alarming situation can be directly linked to the food kids eat. What's a parent to do? The Searses offer help. In The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood, they present an eating plan that's already proved effective for countless American families.
