Children should eat lots of fruits and vegetables. They are a great way to make sure that children eat all the vitamins they need without adding a lot of extra calories that could lead to weight gain. Fruits and vegetables that are dark or bright in color (oranges, red peppers, dark green lettuce, etc) have the most nutrients in them, or are the most nutrient dense. Try serving fruits and vegetables without adding ranch dressing, butter, lard, sugar, or other sauces. These not only add calories and fat, but also mask the taste of the fruit/vegetable so the child never learns what it should taste like by itself. It is easy to drink a lot of calories without knowing it. 100% juice contains vitamins but the whole fruit has even more and also tends to be more filling. You also get more fiber when you eat the fruit.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
