Twilight Zone of Junk Food
My first daughter’s school, (“Scottsdale Academy of Arts,”)a half Montessori-style beautiful school with a ballet school inside it, wrote that the day’s snack was fruit. When I came midday unexpectedly, which most parents never did at this school, I saw the children sitting around the table eating life savers type of candy that was fruit […]
Saying No to Junk Food is Preparation to Saying No to Drugs
Everybody does it. The amount of peer pressure is enormous. They all seem so friendly and with good intentions. “Just a little bit won’t hurt,” they say.

Food is What Keeps You Alive
Make a HeartMark, take a breath, and think about this very obvious but totally skipped basic fact: we are 100% made up of what we put into our body through our mouth. If we put into our body food that has what we need in order to grow (food with protein), then we can grow. […]

PE Classes Are Useless For Obese Children–As They are Taught Today
America knows that childhood obesity is a problem. But recognizing the problem is not enough to understand how to avoid it. One way to avoid making our children fat is to completely change the way physical fitness is viewed and taught in schools. PE classes are especially useless for the kinds of children who end […]
