More than ever, our children’s health is at risk because of what kids eat – too much processed food, too much junk food, too much fast food.
In fact, our children need us now more than ever.
With the ever-increasing invasion of processed food, junk food, and fast food into our diets — combined with more sedentary lifestyles — children’s health issues are skyrocketing. Our children are now at risk of developing serious diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke at a much younger age than ever before.
