Food and Nutrition Videos

[crohnsinct]

Here is the list I have been promising. Some are better than others. I suggest you watch them as a family and discuss them in detail. A couple of them are a little strong when it comes to the medical field and pharmaceuticals. I think if kids (especially teens) are watching these the message needs to be tempered. I am as passionate about nutrition a medicine as the next guy but also recognize the need for meds (ha! just look at my signature). Also, while I agree a vegan diet is probably best, my family is not able to do it 100%, 100% of the time. We take the message in each video/book etc and do our best. So here are some of the family's favorites (in order of preference). Most can be found at your public library. There are a bunch of others but I asked my kids and these are the ones they liked best.

Have Fun!
