But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits? <p> As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don't even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear-out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that "must have" the latest sugar bomb cereal. <p> But this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long-term (and ruinous) effects on the body. With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of information related to kids' nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. <p> Jessica Seinfeld's book is practical, easy-to-read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come. <p> <b>Bob Greene, author of <i>The Best Life Diet</i>:</b><br> "I found the techniques for adding vegetables to meals extremely creative and the recipes fantastic! <i>Deceptively Delicious</i> is a must have for your healthy kitchen." <p> <p><p> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4"> <tr align="center" valign="top"> <td width="33%"><img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Seinfeld_Jessica_spaghetti.jpg" border="0" align="center"></td> <td width="33%"><img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Seinfeld_Jessica_author.jpg" border="0" align="center"></td> <td width="33%"><img src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Seinfeld_Jessica_yogurt_pop.jpg" border="0" align="center"></td> </tr> </table> <p><p><p align="left">17321271102007Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Foodtotal:1182|5:193|4:371|3:412|2:143|1:63|11824034161543719falsefalseTue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008Sun Aug 17 22:24:25 -0700 2008Sun Aug 17 22:24:25 -0700 2008 I feel like this BOOK is deceptive!

1. Children's cookbooks depress me.
2. Cookbook from the library? Ick.
3. Jessica Seinfeld? You know she really has a staff of gourmet chefs.
4. As with most cookbooks, this one is light on vegetarian and egg- and milk-free options.
