Eat This. . . Not That


Just thought I would give a shout-out for this book. I just picked this book up at Costco and love it. Perfect for shoppers like me - the just grab and go type. I don't have time to read labels, but I know I should.

Some of the facts were amazing to me. I.'s oatmeal that she begs for every morning - has the same amount of sugar as 3 bowls of Froot Loops! The lemonade that I let them get at Sonic has the same amount of sugar as 6 ice cream sandwiches! I love that it gives alternates - so my kids don't have to give up their favorites altogether.

I know there is a kids version, that I might just have to get, also.

That looks handy! And by the way,
thank you for remembering Jimmy's B-day! It kind of got overlooked with the baby and all so the card was a nice surprise.

I didn't know oatmeal had THAT much sugar!!! That book would be eye opening to me...scary.

I did a post about these same books!! I love them! I got the kids one too and Sophie likes looking through it and has gotten on board with healthier packed lunches because of it - happy result!!

I've heard of that a lot...more and more recently. I know Oprah has that author on sometimes. I should get it. I'm such a picky eater I'll probably never do the "perfect diet", but it'd be nice to be aware of what I AM eating and to have good alternatives.

Hope you had a very wonderful Mother's Day!

I saw this last time I was there - it looked really interesting. But I was in a "not that" sort of buying mode that day. Maybe next time I'll pick it up!
