Children's diets are unhealthy

"The most recent scientific evidence is both overwhelming and shocking--what we feed (or don't feed) our children as they grow from birth to early adulthood has a greater total contributory effect on the dietary contribution to cancers than dietary intake over the next fifty years.  American children and most children in developed countries eat less than 2 percent of their diet from natural plant foods such as fruits and vegetables.  American children move into adulthood eating 90 percent of their caloric intake from dairy products, white flour, sugar, and oil.  Amazingly, about 25 percent of toddlers between ages one and two eat no fruits and vegetables at all.  By fifteen months, french fries are the most common vegetable consumed in America! "Childhood diets are unhealthy, but the issue goes beyond simple nutrition.  Recent, compelling, scientific evidence over the past two decades has shown links between precise dietary factors and autoimmune ...
