Help Kids to Develop Sugar Sense
Babies are born with a sweet tooth, which makes perfect sense since their mom’s milk is high in the sugar lactose. From a biological point of view, a preference for sweets helped early humans survive. Bitter compounds found in some berries, greens and vegetables are toxic whereas most edible fruits and milk contain natural sugars. So way back when, sweetness meant a food was safe to eat.
But modern man hasn’t fared so well with this natural sweet tooth Read the rest of this entry »

Inspiring those “Aha” Moments
I learned firsthand that lecturing kids about nutrition and food groups is both boring and ineffective. Instead, my approach to nutrition education is to inspire kids to enjoy a variety of healthy foods and learn to be smart consumers. I want kids to become involved in learning by experiencing and discovering nutrition.
The goal is to stimulate lots of questions and lively discussions about food choices. I call these “aha” moments. Below are some examples of experiential activities that I have successfully used with children over the years.
1. Play with your food
Call it “edible art” and let kids have fun shaping, arranging, cutting and sculpting healthy foods into their own personal creations. Because of their vibrant colors, fruits and vegetables make beautiful food art. I know this activity is a success when kids ask, “Is it OK if I eat it?”
2. Grow something edible
