posted by: Kia

When I was asked to write a series of guest posts for Dr. Greene’s website one of the topics that I wanted to explore was setting up a culture of eating fruits and vegetables in the home.  Serving fruits and vegetables at every meal and for snacks creates a culture in the home that makes eating these things a normal part of the day.  When you start this at a young age…ideally when you little ones are babies…then you are training their taste buds to appreciate and enjoy fruits... ....

“I was a little skeptical at first… not that I didn’t think the idea was cute or that it could be used for a learning tool… but I didn’t think it would encourage my kids to eat healthier! ...Read More - Sarah Barnes-
