Don’t Make Food A War Zone
I met Dr Fuhrman back in 2005 when he came to our town to give a talk about his new book, Disease-Proof Your Child: Feeding Kids Right. At the time, Isaac was two and Anika was a newborn, and I was curious to see what he had to say. As a nutritionally focused doctor and family man himself, he has quite a bit of experience helping families eat healthy.
His wife just wrote a blog post about their children’s experiences being raised in a nutrition-conscious family. Their three-year-old’s first exposure to a chocolate chip cookie is pretty funny. They’ve come to the same belief we have: you can’t keep your kids in a bubble forever. The point is to train them to love healthy eating and then send them off to govern themselves as they grow older.
