What we eat is vitally important for good health . . . but so is how we eat…where and when we eat…and how much we eat…especially in reducing obesity and diabetes II, which have reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. This book encourages young children and parents to develop the healthy eating habits that can last for a lifetime.

We Like to Eat Well is based on the current USDA Food Pyramid, myplate.gov which advises us all to eat a wide variety and a proper balance of healthy foods. In this upbeat and rhyming text, children and parents will be reminded to eat fresh and whole foods—rather than packaged or junk foods. What makes this book unique, however, is that it presents the food data along with suggestions for how to eat healthier.
