Yes!! We need to be the example, we are the role-models. The best message we can give others is how we live our lives. Our actions speak louder than word.

Absolutely, it does take a village! I think it is up to us public health practitioners and the community to pass down our cultural values, food and practices which research finds to promote our health.

Definitely. The best way to compete against enticing food advertisements is surrounding children and teens with fresh healthy food that tastes great.

7 words to live by! We live in a toxic food culture that advertisizes to children. Thank you for helping the next generation eat healthier.

Eating healthy is a way of life. Thanks for always setting a great example of how to make smart choices. Modeling for your kids is the best way to teach a healthy lifestyle!

Thank you, Bea. You are so right that we cannot blame the victim, especially when talking about adolescents. We all must do what we can to encourage the healthy habits that were once the norm. It takes a village, right?

This is a great post! Thank you for writing about the eating habits of our Latino adolescents. There are so many factors that contribute to this and it would not be fair to blame the victim. What we can do is reinforce our culture, our food, traditions and go back to eating like ‘abuelita’ did: mostly plants. Love, Bea
