The #1 priority is for schools to serve healthy and nutricious lunches. The problem with that is trying to get a 7 year old to eat salad instead of pizza.
I think it all has to do with the parents. It's hard for children to eat right if the parents don't.
I am searching the internet on foods and acid reflux/indigestion/bloating/ and gas. Can the "healthy recipe doctor help plan a few meals" all information i have dug through seems to list everything on what not to eat. Breads, cereal all dairy, some meat, most veggies and most fruits. What's left?? please help. I have been struggling with this for years and am desperate.
continued from above. Please e-mail any help from above @brown_ms06@yahoo.com
Hi Elaine-
I'm glad you posted something on this issue. Research by the American Heart Association has shown that consumers want to make healthy changes, but don't always know where to start.
As a part of our regular update, I would like to tell you what’s new with the American Heart Association “Face the Fats” consumer education campaign (AmericanHeart.org/FaceTheFats). Very recently, we released the results from our own consumer survey, which shows consumer awareness of the “bad” fats – trans fat and saturated fat – is at an all-time high. But consumers still need some key information to improve how they eat. For more information on our results, please see the Consumer Research Fact Sheet on the AmericanHeart.org/FaceTheFats site.
Have a great day!
