Childhood obesity affects the other side of the pond as well; it's estimated that 20% of kids in the EU are overweight. In an effort to teach kids how to eat more healthfully, some of Europe's top soccer stars have banded together to create a recipe book.

The book, Eat for Goals!, contains 13 recipes with easy, step-by-step ingredients. Not only are the recipes kid-friendly, they're simple enough for kids to prepare themselves. And getting kids in the kitchen is one of the best ways to pique their interest in nutrition and form healthy habits.

There are lots of kid-friendly cookbooks to inspire your kids. Check out the gallery for some ideas.
