We hope the parent letters will help you solve these problems and help your family eat healthy foods. The Food Guide Pyramid is the best way to look at your daily food needs. Foods in one group are not better than foods in any other group. You need foods from all groups for good health. The Pyramid offers many choices in each group.
Some choices are better than others.
The baked chicken is a better choice than the fried chicken because it is lower in fat. Try taking the skin off before cooking to lower fat even more. One of the best things you can do to get your children to eat healthfully is to eat a healthy diet yourself. Children eat better when meals and snacks are served at regular times. It is never a good idea to make kids eat more than they want.
