I believe that eating cheese is worse than eating candy. I view it as the ultimate junk food. In fact, so-called “low-fat” cheese has one of the highest fat contents of anything in the supermarket!

Ice cream has all the bad properties we’ve talked about in the other dairy products. It’s full of fats and contains all the pollutants found in milk.

No. I consider hot dogs to be some of the scariest food around. They can be stuffed with unpleasant things, like chicken lips, pig’s ears and cow’s innards.

Where do I start? Most often, hamburgers are made from less marketable cuts of meat which are high in fat. 

In America, chickens are raised in “poultry factories” where they are crowded together without enough space to move.

Junk foods aren’t just candy, potato chips, cookies, crackers, soft drinks and French fries.

Artificial sweeteners were invented for one specific purpose: to provide sugar taste for medically supervised diabetics and dieters.

You don’t have to refuse your child a piece of candy – if it doesn’t bother you that he’s eating pure sugar at best and greasy sugar at worst. Candy provides virtually no nutritional benefits. I can’t see that it has any place in a child’s diet.

Organic fruits and vegetables are raised by healthier methods, using no chemical and pesticides.

Tofu is a highly versatile soybean product, rich in protein and calcium.

While calcium certainly is an essential building block for teeth and bones in a growing body, there is some dispute among medical professionals as to how much calcium we really need.

There are two primary sources of protein, animals and plants. Plant source include legumes and grains.

Honey and maple syrup are natural foods, but children should restrict their consumption of all sugars.

In April, 1993 and in 1994, the drinking water in Milwaukee, Wisconsin was determined to be unfit for human consumption for a two-week period.

In many parts of the world, the largest meal is eaten at midday and followed by a siesta or nap.

It’s easier than you might think to send your child off to school with a lunchbox full of food he’ll eat. Start with cold pasta in fun shapes, like corkscrews or wagon wheels. 

The School Lunch Program is a national disgrace. Motivated by lobbying forces, it’s a dairy and meat oriented program which provides children with high-fat, low-fiber, high-sugar meals. Hot dogs, cheeseburgers, and French fries are common menu items. In some districts, the Program allows fast food restaurants to serve lunch in the schools, assuring that the children eat the worst possible food.
