Rather than focusing only on “never foods,” experts suggest:
Fruits and vegetables
Whole grains
Lean proteins
Healthy fats
Balanced meals with variety
Teaching kids how to eat well is more effective than strict rules.
The Bottom Line
No food needs to be feared—but some foods should be limited or avoided because children’s bodies and brains are still growing. Making thoughtful choices most of the time helps build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Small changes today can make a big difference tomorrow. 💙👨👩👧👦
