Eat This Not That! for Kids! by David Zinczenko, Matt Goulding (2008, Paperback)

As a busy pediatrician I am seeing an epidemic of obesity. I have placed copies of this book in my examination rooms so parents can read it while waiting for me to enter their room. This prompts the parents to ask questions about food choices and can start a discussion about teaching healthier eating habits for their children. This book is excellent for quick information on better food choices for many "on-the-go" families.

This book is the same size as the yellow adult/original version of Eat This, Not That. Similar in that it is full of pictures, so you can take it with you and make choices as you're out in the world shopping and eating. Having a kids version gets them more involved too so they can be accountable and not just wondering why they're 15 pounds overweight.

The main thing I like about calling it the kids version is that children can see for themselves what a difference they can make in their health by making wiser choices and small changes in baby steps. They don't have to change EVERYTHING all at once, but by reading and seeing the photos they can learn to choose better foods to give them health, not a big spare tire. Kids also like to hear things from sources other than their parents harping on them about what's good or bad. Before these books came out I didn't know the difference in some of these foods at home or at a restaurant.

Book includes 8 daily essential foods for kids too. Another simple "point and click" or "cut and paste" type feature.

It isn't necessarily rocket science, but it is a nice book to have on hand when you're trying to shop, cook, drive, eat, digest, change into clothes for sports, do or look over homework. Pictures saying a thousand words can save you precious time when you're on the run.

Hope this helps you!

I love how easy it is to locate things in this book.

I don't like the fact that some of the items are wrong about the calories, but then again most of them seem to be right.

I decided to buy it so we had healthy options that would be appealing to our 4 year old as my husband and I try to get back in shape.

I do recommend this book!

This product was great...I have one slightly overweight child and a slightly underweight child. The whole family has benefited from all the info in this book. Everyone who comes over, sits and looks at it for awhile. I would highly recommend it, even I who thought I knew what was beter to eat for my kids, I was surprised with many choices.

Very clear with great pictures to explain why to eat this (always on the right page) and not that (on left side.) Fast food restaurants are included.

Very colorful pics of food procucts which helps relate to children.
It is highly recommended and a useful tool for parents.

This is a great book for adults and kids alike. It really shows what NOT to eat at any "fast food" place. An eye opener on some of them! My kids enjoyed looking through it.

Exactly what I was looking for! Great illustrations! Easy to read and understand! Up to date information! Even the kids love it! Highly recommended!

For every parent that wants to raise a healthy child- this book is must. What you think is a good food choice, sometimes isn't. This book is amazing! It doesn't just give you what NOT to eat- but offers better choices. It analizes all of the popular resturants and fast-food places that the kids love to eat at. This book is a must have!

Very informative. Gives specific foods and restaurants. I even take it along to the restaurants and to the grocery store.

This was a wonderful and worthwhile purchase. Gives advice on better choices to make at restraunts and the grocery stores. Hass alternatives to eating healthier, calorie intakes, ingredients and helps on how to read and understand them. Gives best and worst things to buy and eat. Shows you that even though commercials and advertisements try to get you to believe that their product is good or healthy for you that it really isnt and your just getting tons of calories and huge amounts of sugars. I've learned alot from this book and I like to keep it with me, esp. if we go out to eat or in the grocery store. Guides you to make the better right choices for you and your children. Many tips!

I purchased this book to help my 9 year old daughter understand the importance of making good food choices. The pictures are bright and colorful and make it easy for her to see the good choices and the not so good choices.

That was good. it shiped fast and was a good price would by again, yeah. the book is a good read and nice to have around.

Book was received in good condition and promptly. I am satisfied. I just don't like taking the time to write a review.

My kids love this book they had the best time finding all the things they should be eatting and making sure they do. I love this series of books go and get them all.

Bought it for my granddaughter who is 10 - very easy to read - interesting tips - we enjoyed the information and look forward to using it together. A lot of the information will surprise you - we have spent the past hour playing guessing games regarding which food is better! This store has great prices to boot!

I purchased this audo-book as a gift for my mother-in-law for Christmas this year. I hope she likes it!

this book helped me see what was better to eat-- it comes with a guide to what you should eat at a fast food restaurant and the grocery store. came in handy!

I think this is a good book not just for kids but also for college students. There are alot of things in here that I myself as a college student eats and I think it is a good book to read.

With all the fast foods that are being consumed by two parent working families this was quite an eye opener. Many surprises are in store. Foods that you thought were healthy are exposed as loaded with fat and salt. A must read.

I purchased the book to help my kids understand the difference in some of the things they were eating. Both children looked over the book and did get some realization of how fating some of the foods are. The food selections could have been a little bit more expanded. As a parent it could have expanded on the importanance of pryamid eating. The picture illistrations are very effective.

Very thorough and informative. I'll be using it as part of my new Fitness & Nutrition class for middle school kids!

I have a son and a husband who like quick, easy, and fat rich foods. This book gives the reader options for this type of eater. I like the book because my husband and son were both able to see the pictures that compare foods. They realized they can enjoy foods they like and still make good choices as far as calories and fat content are concerned. I learned a lot, too, as I usually buy the foods they like. Now I can make better choices when I shop for them.

fast shipping, book was in excellent condition. fast shipping, fast email confirmation of order, and shipment. i would highly recomend seller!
