Teach Your Kids Nutrition NOW

Kids WILL NOT learn about nutrition and exercise and how food is your body and mind's fuel anywhere else if not from you. It's NEVER too early to teach them and they need to know because print magazines are telling young women that skeletal, emaciated bodies with no muscle tone or physical strength is what is NORMAL and HEALTHY. Don't let this happen, here's an example of why:

Last night on Inside Edition, they did a piece on a girl who first became anorexic at the age of 9!!!!!!!!!!!! The little girl later developed Bulemia as well and was SO frightening to see because not only was she emaciated, but she was SO young. She said things like, "I won’t eat cheese because it has too much fat. I feel like I’ve gained a million pounds today. I look HUGE in the mirror."

I BEG YOU — PLEASE educate your children starting at an early age about nutrition and eating right and exercising. The victims are getting younger and younger and speaking from experience (I started dieting in 6th grade), if they are not taught about proper nutrition and exercise and that in magazines, the waif-life models with hip and rib bones showing are NOT in ANY way healthy, it will save them from years and years, possibly a lifetime of the vicious cycle of eating disorders, etc.

PLEASE help them now and give them the gift of educating them. My home and schools did NOT teach this at all. I did not know anything about nutrition until 2003 when I stumbled across BFL ... THANK GOD! It’s set me free and helped me undo the years of damage of dieting and crash-dieting. That’s my two cents — please take it to heart!

Maegen,

Absolutely correct. We could change the course of nutrition for the positive within a generation.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
