Synopsis
It's no secret that children are getting fatter: 17% of this country's youth are overweight or obese, and the number of diabetic children has nearly quadrupled in the past thirty years. Now, to help combat the problem, David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health, and co-author Matt Goulding have created Eat This, Not That! for Kids. This must-have guide for concerned parents offers detailed analysis and nutritional tips on thousands of the most popular food choices for kids. Covering the best and worst options available at the most popular restaurants in the country as well as the healthiest—and most harmful—foods in the supermarket aisles, if kids are eating it, this book is probably analyzing it.
Other features include:
- Restaurant Report Cards on the best chain restaurants for your kids
- Drink This, Not That! for Kids
- The 20 Worst Kids' Meals in America
- 10 "Healthy" Foods that Aren't
- The 8 Foods You Should Feed Your Kid Every Day

December 07, 2009: Readers familiar with the popular Eat This Not That!: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More! will find this book similar in format- except this time the content is aimed at kids.
The book consists of seven chapters. Here's a brief rundown of what you can expect from each: -Chapter 1 covers "8 rules of kid's nutrition" which includes such advice as "never skip breakfast" and "snack with a purpose" -Chapter 2 discusses choosing the right foods at fast food restaurants such as Arby's or Applebees -Chapter 3 talks about "menu decoding". Since the book can't cover every restaurant you'll ever eat at, it teaches the reader how to read a typical menu- what to look for, what choices to make. It does this by going over general menus of Chinese restaurants, Mexican restaurants, etc. -Chapter 4 goes over making proper buying choices at restaurants. Here the reader is taught how to read labels. -Chapter 5 covers eating at schools, which means, of course, the school cafeteria. Vending machines choices are also included because most schools (unfortunately) have them. -Chapter 6 discusses eating at home. A nice touch here is the sample menus and recipes. And last but not least, Chapter 7 talks about exercise. Included are sample activities to keep your kids fit. I personally suggest trying a pedometer- kids like to fiddle with them and counting steps is fun too. All-in-all, I found this to be a great little book and actually quite fun to read with its many pictures. With good knowledge in hand, the only other obstacle a parent faces is getting their kids motivated to carry out the advice in the book- also recommend "The Sixty-Second Motivator".Will cahnge the way you shop if you're smart!by IntelligentBeauty

October 04, 2009: I have no kids, but I eat like one, I'm an eternal child I suppose, so I bought this for me and I loved it some of the things that you would think is healthy and good for you, really is fat and sugar in disguise. The whole collection is a must have!
