Fighting Childhood Obesity:A Few Thoughts

Kids Eating Healthy


Fast food is making it very hard to teach a child how he or she
should eat healthy and fight obesity. The cheapest and easiest foods
are those that are normally the least healthy. If
you give your child the choice between healthy food
and junk food, you normally wont like the results.

it isn't possible to get a child to like
all healthy foods but there are some ways to get your
child to try and hopefully like at least a few of
them. This may be key to fighting obesity!!!


Be creative,sneak the healthy food in. such as making
muffins out of bananas or apples, or pizza with
spinach on it. Call fruits and vegetables by funny names. You
can refer to broccoli as "trees", making them
more fun to eat.Most kids prefer to eat foods that sound fun


Make the foods taste better. Ranch dressing is
great for broccoli, while peanut butter is a great
topping for celery. There are several combinations
for vegetables that can make them taste much
better.


- Dress the vegetables up.You can do this by making
funny designs on the plate, or setting them up to
look like people. Hopefully, doing this will help
your child fight obesity and develop a love of healthy foods for the rest of their lives.
