Parents often wonder how best to feed their families, but the wondering is over with The Family Nutrition Book: Everything You Need to Know About Feeding Your Children--From Birth Through Adolescence. The beloved William Sears and his wife, Martha (a nurse), teach you how to become your own family nutritionist. Parents of eight children and well-known authors of more than a dozen childcare books, the Searses offer the solid advice on breastfeeding, beginning solids, and feeding picky eaters you'd expect. But more than that, they provide a crash course in overall nutrition. You'll learn how the body works, how to read food labels, what ingredients to look for (and which to avoid), how to trim fat from your diet, what makes up a balanced diet (not just the "food pyramid"), which foods are thought to prevent cancer, and more. The Searses also offer helpful food lists: good fats, best proteins, top 10 complex carbohydrates, and top 12 family foods, to name a few. You'll even get favorite Sears family recipes to help you get started on the road to healthy eating. It's all here, and it's all mixed with a healthy dose of passion for eating well. So you can show your children--by example--how to stay healthy and feel great. --Kelley Smith Product Description: Organic or regular baby food? White or wheat bread?

 Rating:  - I love Dr. Sears, but this is not his area of expertiseI am a big fan of the Sears Parenting Library. This is a great book for parents needing ideas on getting their family to eat healthier. It is a good start for families who eat too much junk- and fast-food. It emphasizes whole foods in their natural state, which I wholeheartedly agree with. I love the Sears family for promoting Attachment Parenting and helping parents make informed decisions regarding their children's health. However, this book does not bring anything new to the table ... Read More Rating:  - Well explained and easy to readI can't praise this book enough.

It also gives straight forward advice on substitutions and recipes that are realistic for a family to use.

I find it encouraging too. :) Rating: - Best Book EverI'm a big reader and this is BY FAR the best book I have read ever!! There's a lot of information in it so get your highlighter out and highlight top points to help remember. There is so much information about becoming more nutritious but Sears simplifies it in a way that you will completely understand. He teaches you how to read lables and shows you how the market tries to trick you with their nutritional labels on the product. I actually got angry with the market a few times because I thought ...
