But in the real world, kids love things like pizza and soft drinks , and big bowls of ice cream . Well, there are ways to let your kids have fun while still minimising the damage. Instead of banning cookies, limit them to one or two a day. And there are great tasting light ice creams on the market. There’s also nothing wrong with having pizza on Friday nights. Just serve carrot sticks or a fruit salad first. And try ordering a veggie pizza — your kids may surprise you and actually like it!

Image via Wikipedia By Dr Bill Maier I've heard of starting babies on solid foods too early — but starting them on French fries ? Researchers recently studied the eating habits of 3,000 babies between the ages of four and 24 months. What they found was alarming. A significant number of those kids had diets high in fat, sugar and salt . A lot of parents were giving their babies junk food like French fries and pizza , even before the age of two! Soda was served in baby bottles to kids as young as seven months! A one to two-year-old infant needs about 950 calories a day, but the survey showed most were averaging well over 1,200 calories! As parents, it's our job to help our kids develop a taste for healthy foods, especially when they're young.
