The pyramid does seem to change as we learn more, Great tips…thank you!
This is great information. So often parents don’t understand the necessity to really instill healthy eating patterns in their children at that age. I have watched people feed their children nothing but bacon in restaurants or let them sip off their diet cokes. I don’t think it is intentional, but there is a reason why we have an obesity problem in this country.
