Do you remember learning about nutrition when you were in school?
I know we all learned some of the basics in health or gym class, but no one told us that the boxes of Kraft mac and cheese or Hamburger helper that were getting more and more popular in the late 70’s were bad for us. Margarine was going strong then and butter was still “bad for you”. Today isn’t much better. They may not be teaching the “four food groups” anymore, but now it’s the nasty “food pyramid”. People are buying tubs of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” and think they’re helping their heart! (Ahhhhh!!!!!) Even my nutrition class in nursing school was a joke. Granted, it was only a one year LPN program, but there wasn’t a peep about getting plenty of healthy fats into your diet. Even the more intense medical degree programs don’t teach much in the area of nutrition, especially none of the real food, traditional nutrition principles that are our only real chance for getting and staying healthy.
What difference might it make if our kids were taught about real food and cooking like our great grandmothers did again?! And if it then trickled UP into the medical profession?!
My friend, Kristen, has written a new Real Food Nutrition and Health textbook that has filled a HUGE gap and could help build a new generation of kids armed with the TRUTH about food and the knowledge they need to be healthy, and later raise healthy families of their own!

Kelli says
I entered the giveaway. I already have RSS and your newsletter. I homeschool 4 kids and have no time to facebook or tweet or any of the other things! Thank you for letting know about the program. I was also wondering if you knew about the farmer in Sauk County, Wisconsin? Max Kane has been here taping. We just started getting milk there and feel very angry. Angry because they are banning us from choosing something that is real and good for us and they can not see that what the pharmaceutical companies and food companies are doing to our people! I would like to know which dairy got into our Governors pocket befor he vetoed the raw milk bill last month. It all makes me very angry!

Angela says
I’m subscribed to you (and love it). But besides that, I have a question about the book- is the material more appropriate for older grades? I have a second grader and a pre-K. It sounds like a wonderful reference and teaching tool, but I’m wondering if it’s more for later on down the road for me?
FoodRenegade says
Angela — The book is definitely geared towards older readers. It’s written at a high school/middle school level. I’ll be releasing an elementary aged children’s version of the book in July, complete with coloring pages & activities. If you follow the link Kelly provided to register for the giveaway, you can click on the navigation menu button (at the top) for Aged 12 & Up to find out more about the book Kelly’s giving away.
Cheers,
