Why focus on healthy eating for children now?  Well, childhood obesity is at an all-time high, impacting nearly 50% of our kids.  Not surprisingly, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes are rising in our young people.  Something must be done quickly to save our children.

The Brocklee and the Little Chef children’s stories and companion products were created in direct response to the childhood obesity epidemic.  My hope is that this initiative will encourage parents and children to learn together how to eat healthier.  I challenge you to join this movement by incorporating at least one healthy recipe into your family meals each day.  I know you can do it!

As always, eat more veggies!
