Simplifying Kids' Nutrition: Embracing Whole Foods

In today's podcast, I'm addressing the challenge of getting kids to eat healthy. As we transition into fall, the issue of picky eating becomes more prominent. I'm puzzled by the trend of seeking 'healthy alternatives' to classic favorites like hamburgers and chicken nuggets. To me, a well-made hamburger, loaded with veggies and without the bun, is a wholesome choice. Similarly, the meat in chicken nuggets is healthier than the processed fillers surrounding it. I emphasize simplicity in cooking – slow-baked, soft-textured dishes with light seasoning. Instead of demonizing certain foods, I teach my kids about balance, explaining that fast food is an occasional treat. Let's embrace whole foods, keeping our meals straightforward and nutritious. By focusing on real, unprocessed ingredients, we can encourage our children to appreciate the goodness of simple, home-cooked meals. Happy and healthy eating to all!
