Juvenile obesity is known to cause a range of health problems, and University of Kansas researchers have documented another concern. Overweight children ages 7-10 show more fat in their muscle than healthy weight peers, which could lead to issues such as loss of muscle function, diabetes and disability. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-03-overweight-kids-fatty-tissue-muscles.html

Picky toddlers are the worst. I can’t even count the number of times I have cooked a perfectly delicious meal only to have a toddler throw it entirely on the floor in protest. My kids are a bit older now, but when they were younger, I never knew if there were signs my toddler needed to eat more vegetables, or if they were getting the proper nutrition they needed from the copious amounts of chicken nuggets and chocolate milk they were demanding around the clock. https://www.romper.com/p/5-signs-your-toddler-needs-to-eat-more-vegetables-what-experts-say-you-should-do-about-it-16966738

Health chiefs said Britain is on its way to becoming a chronic “nation of fatties” as shocking figures laid bare the scale of the crisis. Public Health England statistics show that one third of UK children aged two to 15 – almost four million people – are now categorised as overweight or obese. If the current trend continues, it could “bankrupt” the NHS in the coming years, officials claimed. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1102820/child-obesity-crisis-devastate-nhs-diabetes-type-2

The first time I heard the term “clean eating,” I was working as a private chef for a real-estate developer in Paradise Valley in the early 2000s. While staying at one of their homes in Los Cabos, Mexico, I brought a big lunch spread to the table, filled with grilled fresh grouper, vegetables and fresh guacamole and salsa. https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/dining/2019/03/19/clean-eating-kid-friendly-healthy-recipes-recipes-dinner-ideas-30-minutes/2997020002/
