"Hungry all the time, but they won't eat? Kids and food battles go hand in hand like toddlers and tantrums, teens and missed curfews. But it's not just young people who struggle with food. Take a look at adults' expanding girths, and it's clear as the belly above our belts that something's amiss. Author Betsy Block has the answers aplenty in her new paperback, "The Dinner Diaries, Raising Whole Wheat Kids in a White Bread World." Block's comprehensive book tackles everything food related, from taking vitamins to buying the best beef to selecting seafood that won't make us sick."
