Recently, Registered Dietician Joelle Lefevre and her sister, Mindy Dorff, started an on-line business called Yum Yum Snacks that makes organic eating easier for families on the go.
...
Lefevre admits that eating organically is more expensive.
In some cases-- such as meat -- organic food is 100 percent more costly than non-organic eats.
However, Lefevre feels it's possible if parents make a commitment to eating well.
"When it comes to our children, as parents we spend hundreds of dollars on activities, clothes, games, education and so on, but what we need to do is take a portion of that money and invest it into our children's health," she says.
...
For now, Lefevre has a few suggestions for parents who want to eat healthier, but are on a fixed food budget.
Cut back on junk and fast food.
It takes time to maintain health, and if parents create time to make a meal plan and a grocery list of healthy snack items, it's less likely they will resort to drive-thrus and frozen pizzas.
"Take the time to get back to eating fresh and whole foods that aren't so processed," says Lefevre.
...
All of Yum Yum Snack's products are taste tested by Lefevre, Dorff and their kids.
