Looney Tunes Eating Right Kids Program Part II: Giveaway!

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

Let's continue last week's discussion of the Looney Tunes Eating Right Kids program and healthy eating. We've been so concerned about the quality and nutritious value of kids food products partly because of the persisting severity of child obesity, which may put a child's health and self-esteem at risk.According to a 2009 study, almost 1 in 5 American 4-year-olds is obese, meaning more than half a million 4-year-olds! The number of overweight and obese children (10 to 17 years old) is at or above 30 percent in 30 states. Warner Bros. Consumer Products' and Safeway's Eating Right Kids initiative was actually highlighted by the Federal Trade Commission for its ability to have a positive impact on childhood obesity. Kudos to the program!

While the Eating Right Kids page on Momlogic provides us with expert opinions on healthy eating habits, I'd love to gather some tips and ideas from moms and dads like you. You could win an awesome Looney Tunes gift basket by sharing your thoughts.

Question of the Week: How do you teach your kids about healthy eating choices? What works best for your family?

I stubbornly believe in the power of "leading by example". Kids love imitating adults in all aspects. If we as parents consciously make healthy eating choices, our kids will follow the lead and develop healthy eating habits as well. My son is particularly good at picking up my hints. When I drink water, he turns to his bottle. When I eat fruit, he asks for what I'm having. When I show him how happy I become after eating a lot of vegetables, he wants to take more of them too. This will sure benefit the entire family if everyone is trying to eat healthy foods.

Now I can't wait to learn about your secret ingredients to healthy eating! Meanwhile, feel free to email your questions to eatingright@wb.com and nutritionist Haylie Pomroy will answer them on the Eating Right blog.
