I got this cookbook, not because of a picky child, but because of a somewhat picky husband. I am thrilled that I get to hide fruits and veggies in the foods that I make for our family. So, even if the veggies aren't eaten as the side dish, they are still eaten in the main dish. I highly recommend this cookbook not only for healthy reasons, but because the recipes are so very simple as well.             In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto172 reviews Michael Pollan Penguin Press HC, The, 2008 Eat better, live longer Here's a quick synopsis, but I strongly recommend you read this book and formulate your own opinions. Don't shop supermarks..but if you must, stay outside of the middle aisles. Keep to the produce/meat/dairy sections which undoubtedly are located on the perimeters.

Organic vegetables/fruits contain more micronutrients than those that are laced ...             Eat This Not That! for Kids!: Be the Leanest, Fittest Family on the Block!20 reviews David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding Rodale Books, 2008 Got it for the OPPOSITE reason Maybe my review won't be as helpful for most people, but this is a great book for GAINING weight too.
