Healthy Foods to provide your children:


  • Low fat milk offered in clear plastic bottles - especially chocolate milk, kids will drink more of it.

    * DO not allow non-fat food to be served. Studies show that non-fat foods actually cause weight gain because it changes the way the body is processing fats and how they NOT burn fats in the body.

    * Milk and dairy products should be organic that do not contain anti-biotics and pesticides like regular milk does.

    * Cows fed non-organic grains have increased pesticides in milk. Cows that are injected with anti-biotics pass this into their milk. Studies show that by ingesting these by-products of anti-biotics in products is lowering the resistant to bacteria in the human body.

    *All dairy products SHOULD not contain carregenan. Carregenan is used in many products as a thickening agent. Studies have shown it increases inflammation throughout body and increases arthritis and breathing disorders like asthma.
  • All meats should be from organic sources. Chicken should be organic, free from anti-biotic injections and range fed. Eggs should be as well.
  • More fresh water fish - NO FARM RAISED FISH - these fish are showing unusual strains of bacteria in the meat.
  • More fruits and vegetables on the menus - preferably organic to reduce pesticide ingestion * All fruits and vegetables should be carefully washed. If not organic, outside peelings like apples and other fruits should not be eaten with these peelings because of possible high pesticide contamination.

    *Check to see where fruits are coming from, what country? Fruits coming from Mexico and South America where they allow the use of many pesticides BANNED in the U.S. In these countries, farmers also use human waste and sewage water for fertilizers. Do you want your children eating this?
  • No junk foods - demand that all junk foods be taken out of food machines.
  • No soft drinks - demand that all soft drinks be replaced with drinking water or 100% fruit juices.

    *Juices should not be sweetened with high fructose syrup, a leading cause of your children developing diabetes.
  • Whole grains in bread products
  • NO FOODS CONTAINING HYDROGENATED OILS or MONODIGLYCERIDES
  • NO FOODS CONTAINING MSG - ( MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE )
  • NO FOODS CONTAINING ASPARTAME
