"This can lead to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular
disease, diabetes, obesity, behavior problems, and as this study

at home more often not only saves money but also keeps families

food dishes in your own kitchen, such as black bean veggie
burgers on whole-wheat buns with tomato and avocado, mashed
potatoes with low-fat milk and olive oil or roasted sweet potato
fries," she suggested. For more about healthy eating for
