Kid Food - The Challenge of Feeding Children in a Highly Processed World

Bettina Elias Siegel

Summary

Most parents start out wanting to raise healthy eaters. Then the world intervenes.In Kid Food, nationally recognized writer and food advocate Bettina Elias Siegel explores one of the fundamental challenges of modern parenting: trying to raise healthy eaters in a society intent on pushing children in the opposite direction. Siegel dives deep into the many influences that make feeding children healthfully so difficult—from the prevailing belief that kids will only eat highly processed "kid food" to the near-constant barrage of "special treats." Written in the same engaging, relatable voice that has made Siegel's website The Lunch Tray a trusted resource for almost a decade, Kid Food combines original reporting with the hard—won experiences of a mom to give parents a deeper understanding of the most common obstacles to feeding children well. With expert advice, time-tested advocacy tips, and a trove of useful resources, Kid Food gives parents both the knowledge and the tools to navigate their children's unhealthy food landscape—and change it for the better.
