Kids Eat French Fries as Veggies

Welcome back!

What on earth are we feeding our children?

A study from Ohio State  University showed these horrific results:

25% of kids’ vegetable intake is made up off french fries.

40% of kids’ fruit intake is made up off fruit juice.

I guess I can live with considering fruit juice as fruit intake if it is freshly squeezed. But to consider french fries as a veggie…? No way.

Why even count french fries?
If french fries and juice had been excluded from the study, many children would not be consuming within the recommended range.

What can I say?

Better food to our children, they deserve it!
