Health Foods: The best way to get kids to eat healthier is to put healthy food on their plate. Don't keep junk food in the house. Kids eat what their parents model. Eat healthy foods yourself -- see what happens. And, don't get too uptight. I remember one of my sons was addicted to peanut butter and jelly and macaroni -- that's all he ate for months. Don't sweat the small stuffy.
