Four More Years Of Good Eating

It'll be four more years of good and healthy eating with Michelle Obama in the White House. Our First Lady is one of the chief fighters against childhood obesity and better nutrition.We may even see some reforms thanks to her. in the meantime here are some of her tips and how she makes sure the First Daughters eat well. Mrs. Obama is a firm believer in veggies and fruits.She has even created a working garden on the White House grounds. kids today should be weaned away from some fast food places .It's always fun to have a hamburger however try to make it a rare treat.Get the little ones hooked on chicken and fish more. The meat is actually tastier than red meat and there's more to do with it.You can also get them to experiment with soy products too.As for snacks ,think pretzels dipped in mustards or veggies in dressing.Let them go shopping with you so that they can be acclimated with what to buy for your meals. Sugary drinks and sweets are two other enemies that Mrs. Obama wants to suppress.Too many parents easily acquiesce to buying colas and over processed juices. Instead try flavored seltzer or just water.Another good idea is buying a juicer. This let's the kids customize their juices along with drinking healthy.You don't have to worry about them adding extra sugar or even poisons such as arsenic sometimes found in apple juice. For fun nibbles sub in blueberries and strawberries instead of chocolate pieces and lollipops.If they do clamor for cookies ,get them natural based brands such as Nature's Own. We are lucky to have a First Lady who cares about what our children eat.Hopefully through her advice and cheering on ,there will be an end to this problem?There will be a healthier America in our future ,thanks to her.
