Children and food

One of the things I've noticed is how badly children eat - not just the sweets, chips and cooldrink, but the lack of real sustenance for their growing bodies. There is an overwhelming amount of bad carbs that children are subjected to even to the point where some children are only being exposed to certain vegetables at the age of 10!

I have some very quick and easy meals for children that include a better mix of all the nutrients that children need in a meal without overloading their systems with fats and oils and 'empty' carbohydrates..

PS. one of the better additions you can put on food is a good quality tomato sauce - especially for boys. 36 tomatoes in a bottle, that's good going for anyone.
