Two Reasons to Take Your Kids Grocery Shopping

I thought the following commentary would be a useful addition to the nutrition class of your recovery programs - it's offered by Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison:

"Nothing manifests vibrant health more than what we eat. That's why my wife and I always make it a point to take our kids grocery shopping with us. This allows us to teach them how to avoid sneaky labeling and deceptive branding, and how to pick the best foods for a healthy meal.

The first lesson is how to read labels so that they don't get ensnared in grocery store fat traps. We teach them to look for things like high fructose corn syrup, MSG, dextrose and sucrose. Then, we explain how to avoid the hormone smashers so that your muscles don't evaporate. These include the health branded sports drinks, juices and flavored teas.

The second lesson is how important it is to pick a healthy balance of the right foods. We let our kids pick out their own veggies, which gets them excited about eating good food. (We also let them help prepare their meals, which gets them even more involved in healthy eating.)

including them in your weekly shopping trip helps kids realize how important healthy natural foods are to their bodies. In my family, health is wealth. And in this we are abundant!"

Thinking this is a great way to rein in at least some abuse of taxpayer dollars, and save a few children, too! (It is also relevant to what we are doing!)
