Most Significant Post - Carlie

I think the most significant post for me was the "Simplifying Nutrition" post. This one site touched on so many parts of nutrition. As a mother of 3 young girls, I want to provide them with the best foods and diets available. The foods kids eat impact so many aspects of their lives. Physically we want our kids to be active members of society which is much harder when you are obese. The food I give my kids impact their learning abilities, ability to pay attention in school, and their energy to focus for an entire school day. The "Simplifying Nutrition" website discussed the serving sizes to foods as well as the food groups for different ages. I had no idea that the food pyramid changes based on your age. Makes sense, different stages of life, we need different foods, but I never really thought about it until seeing this site. This site is one I will reference as my children grow up.
