Overview

It is every caregiver's responsibility to teach their kids about healthy eating the earlier the better. But nutrition has so many gray areas and changing rules that it can be very complicated for kids to figure out on their own. Even we as adults get confused. For example, eating pizza once every couple of weeks may be fine but eating it every day is not. Where do you draw the line? Once a week? Every five days? Every nine days? Furthermore, how do you get a four-year-old to draw the line? The Food Talk shows parents how to teach their young (and older) kids about healthy eating in a way they can easily understand. I offer parents concrete, black-and-white rules for their kids about what is good and what is bad (for example, green is good and added sugar is bad. ) It is an approach that they can grasp right away and carry with them as they grow into adults.

Author Information

Growing up in a strictly vegetarian Indian household, at home all I had was RDBS: rotli, dhal, bhat, and shak (i.e., bread, lentils, rice, and vegetables). While RDBS sounds and is delicious, try eating it every day; it not only wears on you, but at some point, with its heavy carb-laden base, you wear it. At the same time, I lived in meat-centric Kansas and all I wanted to eat was McDonald's burgers. When I had the chance to eat without my mother seeing I devoured every bit (I didn't dare take home leftovers). I gorged myself and then would come home and eat full servings of the dinners my mom made. Later when I headed off to college, my binge eating led to obesity. That is my story and it's the major reason why I am so passionate about parents' having the food talk with their kids.
