Just as the Fourth of July is a time to remember our independence and freedom, Father's Day should be a time to reflect on parenthood and children. Take nutrition, for example.
Surveys show that our children are learning the importance of a healthful diet and exercise.
Unfortunately, they're having a hard time practicing what they know. Half of the youngsters skip breakfast, and more than a quarter skip lunch. Nearly two-thirds of them think that foods that are good for them don't taste good. They're also having a hard time fitting in as much as exercise as they know they should. Only 28 percent can manage 30 minutes of even moderate activity at least five times a week.
