I hope this book becomes a national best seller because Jill West has simple, practical ideas that will save our nation from the growing obesity rates. Importantly 400 Moms has realistic advice on how busy, on-the-go families can eat well and thus help their kids concentrate and perform well in school, sports and other activities. Better still, her ideas help the entire family create great eating habits to help all generations avoid some of the obesity pitfalls that I hadn’t stopped to re

I love how this book is so practical– it is designed to provide useful information parents without being overwhelming. The book guides parents through the steps of making wiser nutrition choices. Plus it is supportive in making the reader feel good about attempting to change (instead of making them feel guilty for what they are currently doing.) Great practical ideas and useful information about nutrition for families.
