内容简介
　　THE TIME TO ENCOURAGE HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND SMART FOODCHOICES FOR YOUR CHILD IS NOW.
　　Unhealthy food is everywhere–colorfully packaged, cheap, and fullof fat, calories, and sodium. It’s no wonder childhood obesity hasbecome an epidemic in the last thirty years. As a result, by thetime most people reach adulthood, they’re already wired toovereat.
　　Family nutrition expert Eileen Behan posits that good nutritionand good eating habits start on day one. The Baby Food Biblefeatures a guide to more than 100 foods recommended for infants andtoddlers based on the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines,tells parents when to introduce these foods into a child's diet,and emphasizes the importance of setting healthy eating routinesthat center on family meals at the dining room table–the perfecttime to build good habits. In a clear, accessible style, Behandescribes how to:
　　? foster an appetite for a healthy variety of new foods (there’smore to life than string cheese)
　　? avoid everyday pitfalls, such as relying on too much fruitjuice or labeling your child a picky eater

　　CHAPTER ONE
　　This Is Not Your Mother’s Kitchen
　　Your food choices are more complex now than at any other time in history. When your great-grandmother went shopping, she had only nine hundred food items to choose from at the local market. Your supermarket, on the other hand, is likely to carry forty-five thousand items. Some additions have been positive, including a greater variety of fruits and vegetables and certainly more whole grains and even organic food. But it is the addition of what I call inferior foods that is alarming. Over the past decade the snack food market has increased by 25 percent, with more than $60 million in sales. The baby food aisle alone contains mini granola bars, ready-to- eat meals, and snack treats. High-fructose corn syrup, an ingredient in almost all of those snack items, was created in 1960; according to an article in the American Journal of Nutrition, its use has increased by 1,000 percent per capita—and, I fear, permanently altered young people’s desire for sweet-tasting food.
　　Parents often don’t believe me when I say food is cheaper today, but it is. According to the Nutrition Action Healthletter, Americans spent, in the 1950s, 21 percent of their disposable income on food, while in the year 2000 only 11 percent of our disposable income was spent on food. Cheaper food means that in order to make money, the American food industry must get us and our children to overeat. The American food industry daily produces 3,900 calories’ worth of food for every man, woman, and child in the country, an amount that is almost double what the average adult actually needs and way above what a young child requires.
　　How we eat has changed, too. The number of meals that families eat together has declined, snacking has replaced real meals, and the microwave has become a part of almost every home. The impact of these changes has been a dramatic increase in childhood obesity, an accompanying rise in disease, and a potentially reduced life span.
　　You and your child are at risk of poor food choices and the resulting health risks because of advertising, the wide availability of food, and our innate biology. For example, in 2004 Kraft Foods spent $26 million just on advertising the children’s deli meat produc
