- Too many kids are walking around dehydrated, in part because of inadequate sources of water in schools. (Take Part)
- Chipotle is working to reformulate its tortilla, hoping to get it down to just four all-natural ingredients. (New York Times)
- Positive parenting skills influence how kids eat, according to a new study. Dr. Dina Rose of It’s Not About Nutrition digs in to the findings.
