Mediterranean Kids Lunch Break

Equip your child with the building blocks for lasting health--not only now, but for the rest of their lives. It's no surprise that parents want their children to eat well and build healthy attitudes towards food that will last them a lifetime. So how is it that fewer than 15% of elementary school-age children get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet? With the pressures of work, family, school, and parenting, finding the time to create a balanced nutrition plan for your kids can seem impossible. Where should you even begin? The answer lies in the past--the way some of the healthiest populations in the world ate, not too long ago. The Mediterranean diet is no meal plan being advertised by diet coaches online. It finds its basis in the eating patterns that have been shown to help prevent heart attacks, obesity, diabetes, and stroke. Instead of worrying about the unpronounceable ingredients in your child's lunch box, take back your peace of mind with mealsthat you can prepare together. In 2015, 13.7 million children were obese. This number is only on the rise, and it isn't just because of all the processed foods out there. Many children grow up with no understanding of how the foods they eat affect their body, and they find themselves lost when they have to take things into their own hands. Eva Iliana has compiled not only delicious recipes that your kids will love, but she has also proven ways you can start the nutrition discussion and enable them to take an active role in their health. In Mediterranean Kids Lunch Break, you will discover: 45simple, easy-to-prepare, delicious recipes to start the day off strong and keep that momentum going Why it's so important to talk with your kids about food openly and honestly--and the danger of labeling foods as "good" or "bad" The not-so-secret reason why the Mediterranean diet is associated with longer life, healthier hearts, and clearer minds How small changes to snacking habits can create a big impact over the course of a lifetime Exactly what you'll need to keep a pantry that enables you and your family to make healthy eating easy and painless Various ways to get your child involved in the cooking process, with specific pointers for different age groups Why you don't need to give up ice cream, pasta, or burgers to adopt a healthy diet How to make the transition to a balanced, wholefood-based diet when your kids are already used to their favorite foods And much more. Changing your child's eating habits for the better doesn't have to mean spending hours poring through recipe books and trying to figure out whether those "organic" snacks are actually good for them. You can lay the groundwork for a healthy attitude towards food, without lectures or rigid meal plans.

Ralph Nader and his family share recipes inspired by his parents’ commitment to the healthy diet of their homeland of Lebanon. “More than just a collection of recipes, though, this is a window on a culture and a family. Nader’s description of his mother convincing 8-year-old Ralph to eat radishes speaks volumes about this persuasive matriarch and the tireless activist she raised.” —Washington Post Book Club Ralph Nader is best-known for his social critiques and his efforts to increase government and corporate accountability, but what some might not know about him is his lifelong commitment to healthy eating. Born in Connecticut to Lebanese parents, Nader’s appreciation of food began at an early age, when his parents, Rose and Nathra, owned an eatery, bakery, and delicatessen called the Highland Arms Restaurant. The family eschewed processed foods and ate only a moderate amount of lean red meat. Nowadays, the Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest on the planet, but in the 1930s and ’40s of Nader’s youth it was considered by many Americans as simply strange. Luckily for Nader and his siblings, this didn’t prevent their mother, Rose, from serving the family homemade, healthy meals—dishes from her homeland of Lebanon. Rose didn’t simply encourage her children to eat well, she took time to discuss and explain her approach to food; she used the family meals to connect all of her children to the traditions of their ancestors. The Ralph Nader and Family Cookbook shares the cuisine of Nader’s upbringing, presenting Lebanese dishes inspired by Rose’s recipes that will be both known to many, including hummus and baba ghanoush, as well as others that may be lesser known, such as kibbe, the extremely versatile national dish of Lebanon, and sheikh al-mahshi—”the ‘king’ of stuffed foods.” The cookbook includes an introduction by Nader and anecdotes throughout. The Ralph Nader and Family Cookbook will entice one’s taste buds, while sharing a side of Ralph Nader that may not be commonly known, though will not surprise anyone familiar with his decades of activism and involvement in consumer protection advocacy.
