Healthy Grandchildren

As a nutrition educator in the schools, I am so sad to see so many overweight children. I'm a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 4 grandchildren and know how difficult it is to raise healthy children. We are being bombarded with unhealthy food in the grocery stores and sugar is in practically everything. We've been conditioned to think of "cookies, cupcakes and other sweet treats" as a way of showing love to our families, when in reality it is making us all sick!
 

I so agree!
I think my daughter and SIL try just like I did but you can't keep them from the world and the world is full of "goodies".
I say just be a good influence and offer healthy stuff.
 
I was normal weight until age 8 when I started comforting myself with food due to abuse in the house. I didn't until I also started getting bullied in school at age 8.

I agree, there is a lot of junk food out there. Sugar. There are also a lot of variables and problems causing the issue.
