Kids Health & Nutrition - Milk, Juice, and Sodas We're designed to drink water, nothing else. In the past 10,000 years, raw milk became recognized as a nutritious food staple, as did raw, unprocessed fruit juices.

Chad, Thanks for the article! It is timely...
I am concerned about our future generation after reading a recent US CDC report that less than 10 percent of U.S. high school students are eating the combined recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables. The report was based on 2007 data found that only 13 percent of U.S. high school students get at least three servings of vegetables a day and just 32 percent get two servings of fruit. Less than 1 in 10 get enough of both combined.
Federal nutrition goals for 2010 call for at least 75 percent of Americans to eat two servings of fruit each day and at least 50 percent to eat three vegetable servings.
If kids aren't consuming fruits and veggies daily, what easy options are available to them for their parents to help them obtain their daily nutritional intake?
