I really liked this book. The book reviews many of our local restaurant and fast food chains. It gave information on smarter choices to make for meals. It was small enough to fit in my purse and we were able to take it to our usual restuarants and choose better options. The book also gives great tips for the grocery store. They also discuss the food groups and sort of change it a little to what are kids should really be getting. I like the book because it doesn't just say "Fast Food Bad" and make me feel bad for letting my child eat it, because that's not a reality for me. Instead the book just helps our family make some better choices that fit our existing life style.
amazing and wonderful:) September 30, 2008

He focuses too much on fat and calories. Kids need to think about nutrition and many fats are essential for development. Kids need to be swapping fresh foods for boxed and canned.

Book Review: Eat This Not That For Kids!
From: www.BasilAndSpice.com
Have you ever visited a middle school cafeteria? Unbeknownst to parents, some school districts allow children to purchase three ice creams every day for their lunches! And our children are getting fatter.
David Zinczenko--Editor-in-Chief of Men's Health, and Matt Goulding--Food and Nutrition Editor of Men's Health are trying their hand at helping parents swap out unhealthy foods for healthy ones. Their new book Eat This-> Not That! For Kids (Rodale, Aug '08) promises to help parents and kids "navigate the onslaught of sugary cereals and 'happy' meals that kids love while saving their families hundreds of unnecessary calories." Like the original Eat This-> Not That! (Rodale, '08), the kid version will work with major restaurant chains, grocery stores, at home, and the worst location--the school cafeteria.
Zinczenko and Goulding researched the best and worst kids' food choices across the country. Then they compiled:
* 10 rules of good nutrition
* The school-cafeteria survival guide
* The 20 worst kids meals in America
Fascinating food facts from the book:
* Your child will ingest 93 grams of fat (almost double the recommended daily allowance) in an Outback Steakhouse meal.
* Chuck E. Cheese will provide 1,426 milligrams of sodium (more than a day's worth for the average kid) in one slice of pepperoni and sausage pizza plus two bread sticks.
* Two pieces of KFC's Extra Crispy Chicken is will total 810 calories.
* Skip fettuccine alfredo and caesar salad, and make your own batch of spaghetti and meatballs with a green salad, and save 360 calories and 23 grams of fat.
* Kids will view more than 5,000 food commercials this year.
Zinczenko and Goulding touched briefly on these issues before. Their original book has a listing of children's drinks to avoid, and which are ok to consume. For example, do drink Yoo-Hoo's chocolate drink for 110 calories and 1 gram of unsaturated fat. "Keep these on hand in case you need to bribe the kids," they write. Avoid Hershey's Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk--one bottle equals 200 calories and 3 grams of saturated fat.
Hot on the trail of these successful books is another Eat This->Not That! For Supermarkets (Rodale, Dec. 2008). 5 Stars
