When she first moved to the United States from Australia, Doctor Rachel Mitchell never dreamt she would be writing a book. However, after learning firsthand the struggle to find nutritious food for her children, she found there were many moms with the same problem. "There is so much confusion out there about what is healthy and what is not. Moms and their children are getting bombarded by money-hungry food companies determined to sell addictive sugary products." Soda, pizza, hotdogs, candy are not treats or birthday party foods anymore; they have become staples in American kids diets. Studies show that for the first time children are going to have shorter lifespans than their parents because of all the junk food they consume. Why in the land of abundance are children nutritionally starving? We are in the middle of nutritional crisis for children, and something needs to be done." Rachel (Doctor Rach) was asked by a friend if she recommended a book about how to help her kids eat healthy. When Doctor Rach looked around, she couldn't find anything. She knew moms could benefit from her expertise, so she created this simple, straightforward guide on how to raise healthy eaters. Doctor Rach shows parents how to: Fill a pantry with healthy food, even on a budget. Read labels and uncover hidden sugars in your children's food. Teach your kids to love vegetables and other nutritious whole foods. Satisfy the pickiest eaters. Cook tasty, easy, healthy meals that will have your kids begging for more. Provide essential vitamins and minerals without hiding them in sugary, artificially colored vitamins."
