Kids Eat Right!

A website that helps families shop, cook and eat right!

Do you have kids or grandkids ranging in age from newborns to teenagers? If so, you have got to check out one of my favorite family websites – Kids Eat Right. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and its Foundation are the proud sponsors of Kids Eat Right and I was privileged to be on the original planning committee. As many of us know, there are a growing number of overweight kids in this country. Most efforts to help combat this dilemma have focused on eliminating junk food and boosting fruit and vegetable consumption. While these are valid strategies, Kids Eat Right takes a different approach. Kids Eat Right focuses on family meals – bringing families together and helping them enjoy eating nutritious meals every day.

What will you find on the Kids Eat Right web site? You will find practical tips, recipes, and videos centered around the theme Shop-Cook-Eat:

Shop – How to shop for the healthiest foods for your family.

Cook – How to prepare foods to gain the most nutrient value, including tips and recipes, which you can store in your virtual recipe box.

Eat – Discover the benefits of eating together as well as how to eat when you are away from home.

Best of all, you can trust the information you find on Kids Eat Right. That’s because only Registered Dietitians can provide content. In fact, many of my blogs appear on Kids Eat Right.

This past April, I was honored to be selected a Kids Eat Right Everyday Hero. I love helping families eat healthy – it’s my passion. I hope you enjoy reading my blogs on Healthy Eating For Families. And, I encourage you to visit Kids Eat Right. I give the site 5 STARS. What do you say?
