We are thrilled to have our Preschool Food Revolution program be highlighted by JamieOliver.com!

Read the story here.

We are teaching babies and preschoolers about real food; where it comes from and how it is raised. Kids need to know that food comes from the ground and not from a package.

After learning about the new 5 Step Animal Welfare Rating Program at Whole Foods Market, we asked if we could take one of our Preschool Food Revolution classes out to see a local ranch. To our surprise & delight, Whole Foods Market Novato said YES! Watch as the preschoolers from Montessori In Motion had a picnic with cows and learned where food comes from!

Do you know how the meat you are eating was raised and treated? We recently learned about Whole Foods Market’s new Animal Welfare Rating program. We talked with our local WFM store to get more details, and even took one of our preschool classes to a local ranch. We interviewed WFM staff, ranchers & learned from Dr. Alan Greene why it is so important to eat organic, grass fed beef.

One of the best ways to teach children about REAL FOOD is to plant a garden with them.  It can be as small as one pot – watch here to see Shane & 3-year-old Alina create a beautiful herb garden.

What are you planting in your garden?

In The State of Food #2, Shane lifts the marketing veil of BS that has been given to us on the front of food items – specifically with cereal. It is ridiculous that they can tout the one thing that is good for you and avoid all of the bad.

Hi All

I recently did a “Mom’s Night Out In” cooking event with Chantal which was so much fun.  During the event several moms asked me questions about how to get their toddlers (and husbands) to eat better.  Instead of me posting my answer, I will defer to Celeste’s blog below.  Following our event, she eloquently captured my answers.

So at our event was fellow blogger (and mom of twins) Celeste from MyGreenbraeCottage.blogspot.com. She was so inspired by the class and conversation that she turned around and recreated my recipes from memory AND involved here kids in the cooking process (like I recommend).   She even took it a step further and invited her neighbors, an elderly couple, over to share in the meal – creating a true sense of community around food!

Amy Barrilleaux from 1670 WTDY Madison interviewed Shane for her radio station yesterday. She was intrigued by Shane’s bold statement that “There is no such thing as baby food.”

Listen to learn why it is so important to feed your children REAL food.

As the follow up video to The State of Food in America, Shane enthusiastically shows you 3 simple things you can do that will make a dramatic difference in your child’s health and future. You can do it!

We are killing our kids with the food we are feeding them. Watch as Shane passionately shows us why he gets up in the morning. The State of Food in America as it relates to preschoolers is shocking and disturbing. His eye-opening demonstration shows us why our children are not going to live as long as we do.

For 2011, fast food is “out” and the family meal is “in”. Shane explains why Americans need to fall in love and have a healthy relationship with food again. His hope is to bring food back into your heart, your family & to your table.
