Making Healthier Meals During Pregnancy
One of the most pressing issues for pregnant women today is diet and nutrition. With the availability of pre-processed foods and fast-food restaurants, its easy to unconsciously do harm to oneself by making poor food choices.
Healthy Meals for Busy Families
It’s just so easy to pick up take-out on the way home from work when you know there’s no way you have the time or energy to cook dinner. That little voice may be nagging you about healthier eating, but when the entire family arrives home late in the afternoon, it takes some effort to coordinate tasty and good-for-you meals. However, with just a little preparation, preparing healthy meals can be a snap.
Healthy Meals for Children
The healthy label scares off some kids from even trying a meal. Balancing health with child-friendly meals keeps you and your child satisfied. You feel confident that she is eating a nutritious diet, and she gets a tasty selection of meals. Healthy meals that appeal to the entire family make it easier to avoid the role of short order cook to appease everyone’s appetite.

Join in the Fight to Make School Lunches Healthier!
Corn dogs, canned fruit and a bag of chipsthat was a typical hot lunch offering at the posh private school my daughter attended in Marin County, California six years ago. It took me, and five other Marin moms, more than a year to initiate organic lunch programs in our local private schools. We had to work hard to convince parents and administrators that it was worth an extra $1 a day to serve organic food to our kids. There are still many schools in my county where kids are given unhealthy (highly processed, microwaved and packaged) foods and drinks (soda and high fructose corn syrup sweetened juices) on campuses and in cafeterias. Instead of real and nutritious food, they are eating food that doesnt help their brains or bodies develop optimally.
