Today, I’ve got part one of my Healthy Eating for Families talk video!
I gave this talk for the Rocky Mountain Parents As Teachers group, and it was a ton of fun. I covered three simple strategies for getting your families to eat healthier, and this video covers the first strategy: eat real food.
The video quality is not great, but the audio is just fine, so it gets the message across! What do you think? Can you commit to swapping out ONE processed food your family eats now for something closer to real food? Let me know in the comments below, and please share this video with your friends.

Remember back in school when the teacher would show you some sort of educational video—maybe it was even a music video—supposed to teach you some lesson, but you and all your friends were too busy laughing at how LAME the video was to even pay attention to what it was about?

Maybe it’s because I’m getting old, but I think this video is pretty cool. It’s got a great performance, great music, great production values—and best of all, a really important message. Here’s hoping this gets out to the kids who really need to see it.
If you’d like more info on the foundation that produced it, you can find them here.
