Sticking with It
The ease with which kids transition into and stick with this healthful dietary
pattern can be positively influenced by a variety of factors. Family support,
in terms of providing healthful foods and setting a good example as well as
education about nutrition, is key. If your children have convictions about the
welfare of animals or reducing the impact on the environment and/or have a
clear understanding of the health value of good eating habits, they will be more
likely to make the switch easily and be able to maintain this diet, not only while
away from home, but throughout their lives.
