Why kids eat what they do: one blogger's perspective
Posted on Mar 24th 2007 11:20AM by Bethany SandersI happened upon The Expatriate's Kitchen a while ago and have been burning my way through her collection of posted recipes ever since. (Her chicken chili is bubbling away on my stove as I write this.) But her recent Childhood Nutrition Series has me riveted.
For instance, did you know that currently 1 million 12 to 19-year-olds have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and that if the current trend of obesity in children continues that the lifetime risk of developing type II diabetes for the next generation will be 30 to 40%?
Expat Chef looks into the reasons why our children are both eating too much, but yet getting less nourishment than ever. She covers the topic of marketing, and has also started a great discussion on the growing trend of childhood obesity and the ways children's nutritional intake changes as they grow. If you have children, work with children, or are just looking for an easy to read and well researched discussion on the topic, you'll find her posts very interesting.
