As the problem of childhood obesity continues to waddle out and demand our attention, the people over at ZisBoomBah have started a new tongue in cheek series of articles entitled 10 Ways To Make Your Kid Fat. This week their topic is on paying attention to the portion sizes we give our kids. It is quite shocking to see that even cookbook recipes have altered their portion sizes over the years. They give some great advice on how to decrease those enormous portion sizes you get at restaurants, how to decrease portions at home, and remind us that our kid's stomachs are only about as big as their fists.
Incidentally, ZisBoomBah won the grand prize in Michelle Obama's Apps for Healthy Kids competition. This site lists other apps as well that kids can use to learn about being healthy.
