Happy New Year – What Now?

Happy new year! I might have just missed these if they were already blogged about, so apologies if that's the case. Growing up hating 99% of all veggies (actually only really started eating them in the last 5-6 years), it'd be great to read some tips on how to "trick" kids into eating and liking greens (and reds and yellows and...). And failing the trickery, which veggies would give the most bang for the buck. Organic fooding vs. non -- justifying the cost? The right way to increase fibre intake, as well as the different kinds of fibre out there. Nutrient differences between frozen, canned, "fresh," and so on; recommendations? More food myths busted. I love the holistic approach and overall tone that you folks take: "we know you don't eat perfectly, but here are some tips to help mitigate the 'damage.'" Keep it up and thanks!

Not sure if you have talked about calories and mainting a healthy weight. There is so much conflicting news out there, its hard to keep track of it all. And fats... what should I be looking for with that, especially when I am looking at a nutrition label.

Hi, have a 13 year old in my house and I was wondering if you can write some blogs that speak to teens. The stuff I read these days is geared more towards adults and I know that teens have different requirements when it comes to eating and physical activity. I just think it's important to educate parents better on this as many think that they are like adults.

I would like to hear about meals for two, lunches to go, and more about healthy snacks, especially healthy baked goods. I still want to have muffins, but if they could be made without the bad stuff in them it would be great.
