Today, Oct 3rd, is Child Health Day! More than ever we need to make sure that our kids are healthy. First Lady Michelle Obama has been working very hard to get the nation to recognize her Let’s Move campaign to get kids active and moving. Our health is a real concern because for the first time ever, this generation of children may have a shorter life expectancy than their parents and grandparents. Amongst all the technology and medical breakthroughs, children may not live as long simply because of the food they put in their mouth! When the kids come home from school today, make this healthy, homemade peanut butter as a replacement for the normal sugary peanut butter found in the store.
