Get ready to choose wisely

With summer's end just weeks away, it is good time to start building a plan for eating right. Experts from The Johns Hopkins Children's Center are especially urging parents to talk to their children, even kindergartners, about making wise menu choices.

"Bad food choices in grade school can escalate into unhealthy eating habits by middle and high school that are hard to break," says pediatric nutritionist Tiffani Hays, of John Hopkins. She advises:

-- There are no "bad" or forbidden foods, but choices have consequences. If having hamburger and fries for lunch, then dinner shouldn't include a lot of fat or sugar calories.

-- Look for ways to celebrate birthdays and holidays other than bringing in cupcakes and sweets for everyone.

-- Orange drinks, chewy fruit snacks or fruit roll-ups do not count as fruits.
