About this audiobook
Most parents start out wanting to raise healthy eaters. Then the world intervenes.
In Kid Food, nationally recognized writer and food advocate Bettina Elias Siegel explores one of the fundamental challenges of modern parenting: trying to raise healthy eaters in a society intent on pushing children in the opposite direction. Siegel dives deep into the many influences that make feeding children healthfully so difficult-from the prevailing belief that kids will only eat highly processed "kid food" to the near-constant barrage of "special treats."
Written in the same engaging, relatable voice that has made Siegel's website The Lunch Tray a trusted resource for almost a decade, Kid Food combines original reporting with the hard-won experiences of a mom to give parents a deeper understanding of the most common obstacles to feeding children well. With expert advice, time-tested advocacy tips, and a trove of useful resources, Kid Food gives parents both the knowledge and the tools to navigate their children's unhealthy food landscape-and change it for the better.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Like the Buddha says, when you're shot by an arrow, don't ask who made it or what it's made of -- take it out and treat the wound. This book burns words providing evidence of what we already know: that corporations prey on parental anxiety and children's cravings to sicken and fatten them. It doesn't focus on the information parents need to remedy the problem. Even listening at triple speed, I grew impatient with the author's self-centered tales of activism and media savvy. I guess I was looking for a different kind of book.
