Too few health experts address the dietary patterns of our children except to refer to the `junk food' in the schools and the peer pressure to snack on non-nutritious foods.  Ravi Kishore takes this bull by the horns and addresses this book to eating patterns that harken back to our Paleolithic days when the diet consisted of fresh meats, seafood, fish, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and fresh fruits. And if there is a strong lesson here it is that Kishore insists that if we concentrate on those foods we simple WILL be healthy.Kishore is reassuring in his approach, outlining what children need to grow properly and where the constituents of that food supply lie. He answers all the questions parents will likely pose on how to introduce, encourage and maintain children in eating the healthy foods and loving them.  He sets up a plan for easy following that establishes what a child can eat every day for a seven day period. He then finishes his book with recipes that adhere to the Paleo diet and most everyone will be happily surprised at how easy the recipes are to follow and the reasons for using certain ingredients and not others. For each recipe he tells us the number it will serve, the prep time, the cooking time, and the careful instructions on how to cook them. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, snacks - they are all here and ALL are healthy.The real pleasure of this book is the fact that though it is directed to children,  in the absence of many books that address their eating habits, but the foods are great and adults will love the flavors and benefit from the new lifestyle of the Paleo way!
