Whenever I see a parent give their child a soda, I always wonder if the parent really knows how poisonous that soda is. A friend of mine, a smoker, is aware that smoking is bad for him, but believes it's OK to drink soda. Then he rationalizes, like many of us, everything in moderation. True, a soda once in awhile will probably not kill you, just like a cigarette. The fact is, how fast one becomes two and two becomes three, etc. because caffeine and nicotine are addictive.
My question is, why would you, and even more so your children, eat something that you know is actually hurt your health?
JOOS' philosophy is to eat 90% of your diet as whole foods with 60% to 70% of those as alkaline forming, plant rich foods. The remaining 10% have a piece of cake or a cookie (with no high fructose corn syrup)or a glass of wine. The 10% is very important because if we strive for perfection, we will surely fail.

In our household, we keep on hand Trader Joe's Seaweed Snacks, hummus, Boca Burgers, a variety of fruits and vegetables and whole grain crackers.
What you give yourself and/or your children for healthy snacks?
