In recent years it has come to our attention that although the U.S. is among the wealthiest countries in the world it is also, in some ways, among the most unhealthy. In more impoverished nations children struggle to obtain appropriate levels of nutrition and for obvious reasons, but in a country so well off as ours, children can experience the same malnutrition, and while overeating?! Picture a young American child sitting on the couch while enjoying a fast-food burger and french fries. This meal, while convenient and satisfying in the short term, is obviously missing a smorgasbord of vital nutrients from a lack of healthy fruits and vegetables among other factors.
