Introductions
Healthy eating entails a lifestyle of balanced, nutritious meals to be eaten at least 3 times a day. Healthy eating is sociable eating; it includes a varied diet where all the food groups are consistently represented. There are no "bad" foods; even "junk" or non-nutritious foods are perfectly fine, as long as they are eaten in moderation and not in the place of meals or nutritious foods. What is worse for the child than eating non-nutritious foods is forbidding them, as extreme deprivation results in extreme cravings.
