Healthy Eating

I have been focused lately on healthier eating for my children. I don't ever want to become one of those neurotic-talks-about-it-constantly-food obsessed, but I do just want to be more informed about what is going into their bodies and mine for that matter. They eat their vegetables, whole wheat bread, salmon and there is I would say minimal true junk food around our house, but I feel like there is room to feeding them better. 

Last night we had a friend from California staying with us and he was talking about two books he had recently started: The Unhealthy Truth and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. He was definitely commenting on how they make you more aware of what you are eating and careful attention to labels! I can't recommend them yet but let me know if you have read and what you thought. One other piece to check out is Food Inc., it sounds interesting but not sure if I can watch a whole movie on this just yet!

  1. Hadley- I read Animal, Vegetable, Mineral and it is a great read. If you can get beyond the fact that you are reading a book essentially about carrots then I think that you will enjoy it, and learn something too! Alison Norris
