RFNH: Chapter 1 Discussion

sprouted-flour

Welcome to the first discussion for Real Food Health and Nutrition, the first real food nutrition text for school-age children. My kids and I really enjoyed reading chapter 1, and then discussing it. This chapter makes a distinction between nutritionism and whole foods. Where nutritionism believes that the scientifically identified nutrients in food (such as beta-carotene) give foods their nutritional value, we lovers of whole foods know and appreciate that nutrients don’t work in isolation — God created foods with a whole host of nutrients and component which work better together to offer nutrition and sustenance. Please visit this post with your children and share your thoughts and impressions about chapter 1 with the rest of us!

RFNH = “Real Food Nutrition & Health” Study. My children and I will be working our way through Kristen Michaelis’ book, Real Food Nutrition and Health, during the fall and winter months as part of our homeschooling curriculum — and it looks like many of you will be joining us! I’m so excited. :) Visit this post to download the schedule and suggested discussion questions/activities, as well as learn more about what’s ahead.

My children and I will be working our way through Food Renegade’s “Real Food Nutrition and Health” book during the fall and winter months as part of our homeschooling curriculum. We’ve hit on nutrition in other homeschooling curriculum options and let me tell you, it has always been disappointing. Until now.
