Real Moms Share: What I Did To Get My Kids to Eat Healthier

Food Challenges

"Our kids eat a ton of fruits and veggies as long as they are raw. This used to annoy me, but I figure as long as they are getting them in, I'll deal with it. We also started our own little food challenge, where the kids get to pick out a new fruit or veggie and we all try it. And, we have access to a lot of great farmer's markets and farm stands, so I let the kids pick out the veggies. They love it and seem to eat more when they're the ones doing the shopping." -- Sarah, Asheville, N.C.
