We can try to reform healthcare, but the fact is if we don't have a healthy food source, we are only treating the symptoms and not the problems.

If we make wholesome, healthy food accessible and affordable for everyone, we make the choice to be healthy an easy one.

You can tell your kids they are perfect and don't need to change - which could cause insecurity when they recognize their own shortcomings - or tell them they are terrible, which would undermine their sense of self-worth and confidence. There's a happy middle ground.

Don't make a different meal for every person, but make buildable meals. And, I do this with my kids, try to expand their palates gently.

We all have so much access to the information on the Internet and in books, but we don't necessarily get that information in a usable way so that we can turn information into action.

Tell your kids they are perfect the way they are, but they shouldn't stay where they are forever because growing, testing the limits, and evolving make life better and more fulfilling.

I have been very, very lucky because I have my health, a wonderful husband, family, and friends, and I get to do what I love.
