Portland, OR (PRWEB) November 26, 2003 -- A newly revised book aims to launch a counter-attack on the unhealthy environment we have created for our children. How to Teach Nutrition to Kids (24 Carrot Press, ©2003) by registered dietitian Connie Evers promotes the positive, fun side of healthful eating and physical activity.

Today's children face an increasing number of nutrition problems, including fragmented eating habits, poor food choices, obesity and eating disorders. The common denominator of all these issues is that the culture we provide for our children fails to promote healthy eating and fun physical movement.

As parents and educators, it is our job to create a new culture for health, one where we role model good eating habits, provide regular and shared meals and set limits on foods with little nutritional value.

Packed with ideas that empower children to evaluate nutrition information, make smart food choices, and creatively prepare food, How to Teach Nutrition to Kids effectively integrates nutrition into multiple areas of a child's life. Step-by-step instructions are given for over 200 activities featuring children's books, gardening, recipes, food art, label reading, fitness and more.

Parents, educators, and others involved in the lives of children will welcome the hands-on nature of this newly revised book.

The book is authored by Connie Evers, an award-winning registered dietitian and mother of three who has worked and written in the area of child nutrition for over 20 years.
