Skim milk may not be all that tasty, but it lacks the fat that over weight kids don’t need. Graham crackers are pure sugar and carbs that turn into sugar and go on the hips.
Then you have allergy issues. Digestive issues to deal with. I read labels on every thing I buy, for sodium, sugar, protein, and cholesterol.
Nursing homes are next. Food is already crappy.
Those Meals in a Bottle have 35% of your daily cholesterol, 15% sodium, to many calories besides tasting like cardboard.
Did some research...The graham cracker was invented in 1829 by Simon Graham in Suffield CT. It was originally a healthy whole-grained snack, with little or no sweetening. Thus, a traditional graham cracker is healthy and tasty.
You're also correct. What's called a graham cracker today is often poisoned with HFCS and other additives. So it's a matter of read the label. As far as the milk fat is concerned, that's tough. Growing children need some fat. Milk as it's sold today is so laden with antibiotics that it's bad news. The antibiotics settle in the milk fat, so if that's avoided, most of the antibiotic poisons are also avoided. I'd go with no-fat chocolate milk with all healthy ingredients for kids.
These guidelines are suggesting tofu. That's weird, because there are many question how healthy soybeans are.
I'm a nutrition Nazi, sticking to a "pure foods" diet. It's getting easier to find edible foods, but one has to be constantly vigilant about ingredients. I've done this for over five years now, and never felt better.
I beg to differ.
My John Jacob Rye is entirely cholesterol and sodium free.
And it tastes like butterscotch, roaring campfire, and long-ago summer kisses.
See the documentary "Fat Head" that was produced to rebut the deceptive "Super-size Me". Conventional wisdom about diet is the exact opposite of the truth and the government is perpetuating the problem.
