When teens get inspired to improve their health by eating more nutritiously, they may want their families to join in. But how can they motivate their parents and siblings to give up highly processed and junk foods? This book will help teens talk to their families about the psychological and physical health benefits of eating meals together. They can explain the value of a plant-based diet (even for meat eaters), the science behind Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate, and the five best diets for families (as rated by nutritionists and dietitians). The book provides suggestions for healthy snacks, planning and cooking meals, losing weight the healthy way, dealing with picky eaters, grocery shopping and cooking when teens go away to college, and accommodating a family member who has a special diet, such as a vegan sister or a parent with high blood pressure. Family dinners should be a celebration-enjoyable for everyone, with lively conversations and belly laughs. This book offers a selection of fun games and open-ended questions to draw people out, plus ways for families to explore their heritage or even other cultures with special ethnic dinners. It's time for families to create new traditions with memories that will last a lifetime.
