Feeding my children is not like feeding myself: it matters more.

I do have a priority in my house, and that is I want my kids to be healthy, and if I give them the right food, I am headed consistently toward that goal.

As a parent, I know how difficult it can be to encourage your kids to eat well.

Ultimately this issue is on us. We're the ones who make the decisions about what our kids eat.

I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age.

I think it's important that people know what they are eating and especially to know what their children are eating.

It occurred to me that a food drive would be a natural way to talk to kids about hunger, which so many of them simply aren't aware of.

We're all bombarded with so many dietary messages that it's hard to find time to sort through all this information, but we do have time to take a look at our kids' plates.

I was the youngest of six kids, so yeah, feeding myself was important, but it's not like I was obsessed with food growing up.
