A lot of time, the reason it’s a challenge for schools to be junk free is that the alternative plan is not workable for the parents, because parents would give excuses that their life is full already. The truth is parents are still in the process of learning but as much as they are busy, […]
I want to say it is actually very possible to eliminate junks completely in the Lunchbox. I don’t believe in a few days a week. Many years ago, I tried it in a period where we had healthy eating as our science topic and one of the things we immediately noticed was the noise level […]

Despite childhood obesity being a global challenge, wins have been almost non-existent when it comes to pushing it back. However, Brighton, a city in England has experienced a downward trend in childhood obesity rates compared to national figures. This beautiful study gives us some insight as to how their multi-faceted approach including things like checking […]
Since I am coming for all your fried foods, I figured I would start with two stories I was on the world’s immediate source of breaking news TWITTER sometime last year, and as was my custom, I would go through the tweets of those Twitter Doctors giving us correct free and valuable info. Don’t recall […]
