I realize part of it is I am lucky. THe other part... We never eat fast food, we drink water, we grind our own wheat and make our own bread (and breads not all it's cracked up to be either.) We do not have tv, nor do we have video games. They are all in karate. Processed food is a huge rarity in our home, most of what we eat is homemade whole foods. I educate my children on how to eat, and I also exercise and they see this as an important thing in health. Granted, we don't eat like most of society, but my children are also never sick and I haven't had to take them to the doctor in an incredibly long time over an illness. Sure, I let them have treats, I splurge and buy ice cream sometimes, we make cookies, but they don't overeat. Yes, I'm blessed, but I also work hard for it as well. Educate yourself, it's the most powerful tool in your families health. I have five healthy, fit, thin children. I realize part of it is I am lucky.

A lot of people think they are feeding their children healthy, when in reality, they aren't. Quit listening to what the "government"says is healthy "gotta drink your milk, eat your meat because it's the only form of protein out there" really, a lot of it is lies, find your own truth. medical issues = bad nutrition- read The China Study
