Raising Kids in a Sugar and Processed Food Filled America


Listen Later

Two-thirds or 67 percent of calories consumed by children and adolescents in 2018 came from ultra-processed foods, a jump from 61 percent in 1999, according to a 2021 Journal of the American Medical Association study.

  • Guest Teya Helene, a young mom of 2 children, shares her struggles of feeding her family healthy when it seems as if sugar and processed food is everywhere you go.
  • Raquel, Kristin & Teya discuss how all our efforts count and just eliminating processed food in certain areas is helpful! It doesn't have to be an ALL OR NOTHING mindset.
  • Teya shares the Environmental Working Group (EWG) web site and app for moms to use when grocery shopping to identify healthy foods as well as those best to avoid. Visit https://ewg.org for more.
  • This episode is for you if you've ever been concerned about the amount of sugar and processed food your kids have been eating! Or if you're confused about how to read labels in the grocery store. Small changes go very far.
