Healthy Child

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

As we approach 2010, our awareness of the impact of what we feed our families and the availability of better choices are finally meeting up to create a special opportunity for the next generation. Today, parents across the country have the ability to raise this generation of children with food free from the harmful pesticides, chemical additives, and genetically engineered ingredients that began to flood the marketplace over 50 years ago... And though organic has always been an option for some, we are seeing the reach of organic food growing and the power of this movement reaching its peak.

Our friends at Plum Organics have been at the vanguard of this movement. From the very first bite, Plum Organics provides convenient, tasty, and organic options for your growing family. They like to think of your little ones as "Generation Organic™,” children that will have the chance to grow stronger and live longer because they were given pure, healthy food right from the start. That's why they've created a family of organic meals and snacks that help parents nourish the next generation with yummy, nutritious foods.

For Baby

Plum Organics is the leading provider of organic meals and snacks for babies and toddlers. Beginning at the first stage of weaning, they believe that by introducing babies to real food and flavors you can create a foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating.

Plum's meals are cooked just the right amount to preserve the nutrients by not exposing them to high temperatures and lengthy cooking times. Research has shown that eating a variety of healthy foods and minimizing the intake of processed foods with artificial ingredients can help avoid health concerns such as allergies, obesity and diabetes later in life. That's why they’ve created the Plum Promise:

always certified organic
always nutrient rich
no high fructose corn syrup
no trans fats
no artificial ingredients
BPA-free packaging

For Tots

As a baby grows into an independent eater, many parents struggle to find organic options during this next stage of their child's development. These formative years are equally critical for continuing to nurture your child's healthy eating habits. Organic options that are low in sugar and still taste great may even lead to better behaved and less frequently sick toddlers while providing many long-term health benefits.

Plum Organics Tots is the first and only complete line of organic snacks for toddlers. Plum offers an array of organic snacks filled with fruits, grains, beans and veggies that are perfect for little hands and budding palates - all of which encourage eating independence.

For Kids

Parents all over the country share in the concern about the quality of food their children will receive at school – a place intended to help them learn, grow and be safe. And every home has faced the same lunchbox challenge: What will my kids eat, what will come home uneaten, and what will keep the lunchbox fun and interesting day after day? Plum Organics sister brand, Revolution Foods, aims to answer these concerns by bringing simplicity back to the lunchbox with yummy, organic snacks that are fun and widely appealing without compromising nutrition and quality.

Revolution Foods was founded on the simple belief that all children deserve access to healthy, wholesome foods where they need it most – in their schools. What began as a mission to revolutionize the school lunch line has expanded into the lunchbox with a suite of organic snacks for kids. Now, not only can you find Revolution Foods' school lunch program in 160 schools across the country, you can also find their organic lunchbox snacks online and in your neighborhood store. Even better - 3% of the net sales from your purchase of their lunchbox snacks goes back into the school lunch business, helping feed more kids in underserved schools.

All Revolution Foods snacks are SB-12 compliant, made with 100% USDA-certified organic ingredients and contain zero trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial ingredients. What a yummy time to be kid!

Take the pledge to nourish Generation Organic™ right from the start!

Carry this mission into the lunchbox and help revolutionize school food!

As the founder of PediaOrganic, I have a deep appreciation of all things “organic.” I worry less, when I see Organic certification and I’m thankful to all organic produce farmers and manufacturers of Green and Organic goods.
