Why should you care that kids are getting fatter? Because it is costing you millions of dollars in health care costs, because it is a direct reflection of the choices and examples that you make, and because we owe the children in this nation a better future. In this Podcast Episode #24, I interview Monica Reinagel, host of The Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips Podcast. During this interview, we talk about the seriousness of the childhood obesity problem, and the fact that kids are dying of "adult" diseases that are intimately tied to junk food, fast food, portion control, and other important nutritional issues. Included in this podcast:

-The underlying nutrition considerations behind this problem.

-How to approach the difficult position of wanting your child to be able to "enjoy" perks like McDonald's and Coca-Cola.

-How children can eat healthy and still enjoy food, with examples of meal decisions, substitutions or changes that parents can make.

-Nutritional choices that parents can make that will positively affect the behavior of their children.

-How young is too young to start making smart diet choices for your kid?

During this podcast, Monica mentions a fantastic resource, the "Real Food for Healthy Kids" book, as well as her website NutritionData.com and her latest book (non-childhood obesity related): "The Inflammation-Free Diet".
