It's no secret that children are getting fatter: 17% of this country's youth are overweight or obese, and the number of diabetic children has nearly quadrupled in the past thirty years. Now, to help combat the problem, David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health, and co-author Matt Goulding have created Eat This, Not That! for Kids. This must-have guide for concerned parents offers detailed analysis and nutritional tips on thousands of the most popular food choices for kids. Covering the best and worst options available at the most popular restaurants in the country as well as the healthiest—and most harmful—foods in the supermarket aisles, if kids are eating it, this book is probably analyzing it.
You and your kids can tap the secret of burning away fat and being the lean, healthy family you want to be--by making smart, healthy food choices. And now, the right choices are simple!
Whether you're in the frozen food aisle, the fast-food drive-thru, the local Olive Garden, or even your own kitchen, you're faced with dozens of food choices every single day. Which ones will help keep you and your children looking and feeling fit and trim--and which are loaded with hidden fat, calories, and other nasty stuff? You'll never know--unless you have EAT THIS, NOT THAT! FOR KIDS!
