Here are some amazing stats I have recently learned – those of you with kids are going to be stunned (& horrified)!

• this generation of children being born is the FIRST generation of kids NOT expected to outlive their parents.  Can you believe this!?  Our diet & health as a nation (world?) has declined so much that our children aren’t expected to live as long as we will?
• The average American child eats:
  • 3/4 pounds of sugar a DAY
  • More than 2400 mg of sodium a DAY
  • Gets more than 30% of their daily caloric intake from TRANS and HYDROGENATED FATS.

These statistics make me ill. 

The solution is so simple and right in front of all of us.  More fruits and vegetables and less processed foods. Small changes in diet can make profound life changes.
