It's a Trick, Not a Treat!

Our kids today are not eating the food we use to eat when young!

When young, I receive a far higher nourishment level from everyday foods than kids do today. 

We are kidding ourselves if we think otherwise and this is a large expense on our kids health. We are being tricked, because the bottom line today is the fact that many products sold are tricking us. Here are just a few examples:
