A Low Fat Fourth of July Menu |
I love the Fourth of July. I may be a Brit, but I celebrate America's Independence Day along with everybody else. My American-born children sport their Old Navy flag t-shirts with pride. They enjoy eating hot dogs, followed by ice cream; then they wait impatiently for dusk to fall and the fireworks to begin.
Now I hate to be a party pooper, but the problem with the Fourth of July is the sheer volume of fattening foods: mounds of potato salad, juicy burgers topped with goodness-knows-what, dense and fudgy brownies, scoops of ice cream, and so on. But if you're looking to lighten the load, there are many ways to reduce the calories and fat in many of these. Here are some great low-fat Fourth of July options.

Preventing Child Obesity |
 If you're trying to help your children eat better, especially if they're a little overweight, should you consider putting them on a low-fat diet? After all, much of what kids enjoy is high fat and high calorie: think mac and cheese, burgers, pizza, corn dogs, hot dogs, fries, chips, candy and ice cream. The short answer is no, since fat is essential to growth and development. But eating burgers, mac and cheese and all the aforementioned foods is not. There are healthier ways to prepare some of these foods, better ways to ensure our children consume the fats necessary for healthy bodies, and other ways to prevent our children from becoming overweight and obese. Here's how.
