I would love to win this book as I agree it's so important to give educated and accurate answers to our children's questions about food and nutrition. I would love to be more educated! Also, you asked on my blog about the quotes from Abraham and who Abraham is. This is the Abraham-Hicks website. http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php This looks a great book and I enjoyed the interview.

Lovely, simple and straightforward. I've started going organic and trying to sneak in the veggies as my 3 yr old doesn't eat them if she can see them! I'd love to read the book and find out more about the whole shebang. Good nutrition is important and yet simple information is not all that easily found. Loved this interview.

Between better food choices for myself (guided by weight watchers to lose weight and better understand portion control, but also by my desire to eat better, healthier, fresher, local foods), joining a CSA, and just including more veg on our plates, I realized I need to eat more like what I'm feeding my kids. It's funny because I look at waht I'm feeding them & realize if I could keep it to that in my own diet, I'd lose the baby weight quicker!! :) The kids eat 2 or 3 veg & a protein for dinner, typically carbs for snack (lots of on the go), but we also pack up sliced apple & snap peas when we're out. That said, I want to better understand their portion sizes (what is really appropriate to give 15 month old & 3 1/2 year olds- both can be very "good" - substantial - eaters). Tonight we had some amazing local purple green beans (they turned green after they hit boiling water - amazing surprise science lesson for E!), barley, butternut squash, peas, and a slightly sad protein from our freezer. Anyway, goes to show, as much as I'm trying, we, but as a family, I know still have a whole lot to learn about nutrition. I still have lots of questions (like how much protein do we really need...?) Off topic - we're doing Michael Pollan's "In defense of Food" for the next book club discussion. We'd love to have you join us if you're interested. Let me know offline - 4th Thurs (and yes, you can bring Levi!)

I won! Thanks so much! I'll get in touch with you asap. The Chicken Feed stuff looks great too- we started using salad plates instead of big dinner plates a few years ago and it has really helped us not to "load up" (of course, if you go back for seconds... ;) But I guess I better let someone else win this one. Thanks again! PS- loving Levi's birth story. So glad you shared. Yay! I won! Thanks so much! I’ll get in touch with you asap.
