　　THE TIME TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND SMART FOOD

CHOICES FOR YOUR CHILD IS NOW.

Unhealthy food is everywhere–colorfully packaged, cheap, and full

of fat, calories, and sodium. It’s no wonder childhood obesity has

become an epidemic in the last thirty years. As a result, by the

time most people reach adulthood, they’re already wired to

overeat.

Family nutrition expert Eileen Behan posits that good nutrition

and good eating habits start on day one. The Baby Food Bible

features a guide to more than 100 foods recommended for infants and

toddlers based on the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines,

tells parents when to introduce these foods into a child's diet,

and emphasizes the importance of setting healthy eating routines

that center on family meals at the dining room table–the perfect

time to build good habits. In a clear, accessible style, Behan

describes how to:

? foster an appetite for a healthy variety of new foods (there’s

more to life than string cheese)

? avoid everyday pitfalls, such as relying on too much fruit

juice or labeling your child a picky eater

? establish a meal and snack schedule (children will feel more

secure and eat better)

? decipher the many labels and ingredient lists at the grocery

store

? prevent and treat common food-related issues, including

allergies, colic, choking, and iron deficiency

? encourage the foods that will discourage chronic disease, from

high blood pressure to heart disease

The Baby Food Bible also features an alphabetized index–from

apples to zucchini–that explains how to buy, store, prepare, and

serve more than 100 foods, with delicious recipes for every meal,

wholesome snack ideas, and advice for eating out. There’s no better

way to ensure your child will grow up to have a happy and healthy

life!

　　CHAPTER ONE

　　This Is Not Your Mother’s Kitchen

　　Your food choices are more complex now than at any other time in

history. When your great-grandmother went shopping, she had only

nine hundred food items to choose from at the local market. Your

supermarket, on the other hand, is likely to carry forty-five

thousand items. Some additions have been positive, including a

greater variety of fruits and vegetables and certainly more whole

grains and even organic food. But it is the addition of what I call

inferior foods that is alarming. Over the past decade the snack

food market has increased by 25 percent, with more than $60 million

in sales. The baby food aisle alone contains mini granola bars,

ready-to- eat meals, and snack treats. High-fructose corn syrup, an

ingredient in almost all of those snack items, was created in 1960;

according to an article in the American Journal of Nutrition, its

use has increased by 1,000 percent per capita—and, I fear,

permanently altered young people’s desire for sweet-tasting

food.

　　Parents often don’t believe me when I say food is cheaper today,

but it is. According to the Nutrition Action Healthletter,

Americans spent, in the 1950s, 21 percent of their disposable

income on food, while in the year 2000 only 11 percent of our

disposable income was spent on food. Cheaper food means that in

order to make money, the American food industry must get us and our

children to overeat. The American food industry daily produces

3,900 calories’ worth of food for every man, woman, and child in

the country, an amount that is almost double what the average adult

actually needs and way above what a young child requires.

　　How we eat has changed, too. The number of meals that families

eat together has declined, snacking has replaced real meals, and

the microwave has become a part of almost every home. The impact of

these changes has been a dramatic increase in childhood obesity, an

accompanying rise in disease, and a potentially reduced life

span.

　　You and your child are at risk of poor food choices and the

resulting health risks because of advertising, the wide

availability of food, and our innate biology. For example, in 2004

Kraft Foods spent $26 million just on advertising the children’s

deli meat produc
