Today's teaching Moment:
One website I like to frequent is "Diet Detective.com" where Charles Stuart Platkin teaches...
Think Before You Eat. I liked what he had to say about who is responsible for our children's bad/good eating habits. Hopefully you will gain some insight into this problem and ultimately be the best teacher and influence in your children's lives.
Did You Ruin Your Child’s Eating Habits?
"Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health analyzed studies published since 1980 that looked at children’s and parents’ dietary intake. What they found is that parents don't have as much influence as previously thought. Researchers believe that children's eating habits are influenced by many factors, including schools, local food"Diet Detec environment, government guidelines that regulate school meals "and the broader food environment that is influenced by food production, distribution and advertising.” This doesn't mean parents are off the hook — just that they’re not completely responsible. Parents should still set a good example and eat healthfully (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low–carb and low–fat) in front of their kids — it matters."
