This book is many things - a fun adventurefor kids to explore, a toolbox of tips and tricks for parents and teachers, an exercise guide, a cookbook, a library of resources on getting the most out of your kitchen and local market, a collection of treats and surprises, and a call to action to make the best choices for your health at any age. Ultimately this book is a gift. Even if you've paid for it, even if it was something somebody said was "good for you" toread - the equivalent of new socks for your birthday - this book is really and truly a gift from us to you, personally, as we know from speaking to thousands and thousands of different people every year that there's nothing more important than taking charge of your own health, and when kids are in the picture, setting a good example. Live the way you want, to the best of your potential, without spending a minute having to deal with a painful, costly, chronic lifestyle disease such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or, perhaps, cancer.
