Healthy Kids, Thriving Families - Part 1 with Guest Ali Elliott

Did you know that 1 in 5 kids suffer from obesity in America? Or that on average, kids are eating about 1.8 daily servings of fruits and vegetables, less than half the recommendation of 4.5 servings? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson is joined by pediatric dietitian, Ali Elliott. They discuss how the deterioration of the family has negatively impacted children's overall health, and they break down what kids should be eating daily through the 5-2-1-0 principle.
